On Ubuntu or other Linux-based systems, Python 3.14’s venv creates an extra executable named 𝜋thon:
$ python --version
Python 3.13.0
$ python -m venv .venv
$ cd .venv/bin && ls
Activate.ps1 activate activate.csh activate.fish pip pip3 pip3.13 python python3 python3.13
$ python --version
Python 3.14.0a1+
$ python -m venv .venv
$ cd .venv/bin && ls
𝜋thon Activate.ps1 activate activate.csh activate.fish pip pip3 pip3.14 python python3 python3.14
What does it do and why is it there?
