Change in current behaviour
Description
Currently with non-package-mode = false
when poetry creates the virtual environment it seems like the folder name for the venv is something like:
"non-package-mode-{pseudo random string}-{python version}"
e.g.,
"non-package-mode-WCWsJ_DC-py3.11"
I'm curious if there's a technical reason for that particular string being used--obviously there's not necessarily a project name as poetry would otherwise use in pyproject.toml , but compared to e.g., using the last element of the path the project is in I could see it causing some confusion in a case like this:
- I have several paths each using poetry in NPM to fiddle with different things
- I activate one, prepending some variation on "non-package-mode-some_string-py3.11" to my prompt
- I navigate away from the path the virtual env is relevant to
- it's no longer apparent which of my couple of experimental envs are active (since they would all prepend non-package-mode-py3.11) somewhat removing the utility of modifying the prompt
Impact
I imagine this causing some amount of confusion with developers who have multiple terminals open or work on several things at once.
Workarounds
I assume the activation script could be modified manually for each virtual env should this be a pressing issue for anyone
