[issue22162] Actiavting a venv - Dash doesn't understand source

[Daniel Lintott]

New submission from Daniel Lintott:

In the documentation for venv (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/venv.html) 
it gives examples for activating the venv under bash/zsh.

For a long time under both Debian and Ubuntu the default shell has been Dash 
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh)

Dash doesn't undertsand the command 'source' so instead the venv must be 
activated using the . command (as is done for Fish, but using the bash activate 
file instead)

Daniel Lintott added the comment:

Hmm... just double checked this and this time has worked with the source 
command (previously was telling me it couldn't be found).

Have double checked and indeed the default login shell is bash

So feel free to close this issue
