python3-config (along with other tools) does not respect the version virtualenv hook on about pyenv-virtualenv

[carljm]

I don't remember, and there's no indication in the PEP text that it was a deliberate omission. If you believe it should be added, the right course of action is to file an issue on CPython and make a case for it.

@carljm Thank you!

If there's no specific reason for omission, we'll do that, and in the meantime, be adding it in Pyenv, too.

[native-api]

We'll keep this one.

Both venv and virtualenv deliberately omit creating links to python-config for some reason. Virtualenv even deliberately dropped this feature in order to copy Venv.

@carljm could you possibly enlighten us on the rationale for not including python-config (as well as pydoc) into the list of executables linked into a venv as per https://peps.python.org/pep-0405/ ?

hey, thank you for the information.
Are you going to create a dedicated issue and close this one? Or you are planning to keep current issue? Both work for me.
