Default virtual environment folders is not consistent with virtualenvwrapper

douglaslassance opened this issue · comments

Virtual environments are created in %USERPROFILE%/Envs by default which differs from the virtualenvwrapper which uses ~/.virtualenvs. Why not be consistent for people working on both platforms and who don’t feel the need to overwrite the default with the environment variable?

It is very easy to set %WORKON_HOME% on windows to be %USERPROFILE%\.virtualenvs if that is what you want. If this had been a new project I could see the advantage of being consistent, but at this point it doesn't warrant breaking backwards compatibility.
