• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option) and have included the output below.

Issue

Poetry create an invalid virtual environment inside project. .venv/local/bin/python is a symbolic link to system intepreter, not an executable "isolated" from the system one.

the issue is not the symlink, that's completely normal.

you seem somehow to have created some confusion about where the virtual environment is

• poetry env info shows it in /home/dragon1573/Code/School/.venv (and not a subdirectory of that)
• you are showing a virtual environment in .venv/local

I don't know how you've got into this state, but that's the mess you'll need to untangle

Oops?! Sorry for that ...

I realized that there's no .venv/bin/ folder when new Poetry projects created. I research the issues and find a walkaround in this comment.

It said that there's something different on Debian/Ubuntu, which pip list will display a python-debian instead of official python.

Thanks for your tips! This issue can be closed (or maybe deletable?)

Duplicate #6371, the environment is invalid, it is a Ubuntu/Debian bug.
