RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: python-virtualenv-1.10.1-3.el7
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Feature: Added an error message when virtual env is passed a FILE that already exists and is not a directory. Reason: It's better to show a custom error message instead of a traceback. Result: Error message is displayed when appropriate.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7.2
python-virtualenv-1.10.1-2.el7

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:

To create virtual environments, we can use the virtualenv command. Create an environment called "testredhat" successfully.

[root@debug ~]# virtualenv testredhat
New python executable in testredhat/bin/python
Installing Setuptools..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................done.
Installing Pip.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................done.
[root@debug ~]# cd testredhat/
[root@debug testredhat]# ls
bin  include  lib  lib64
[root@debug testredhat]# 

However if we create a file with similar name which we want to create for virtualenv then it throws an error. 

[root@debug ~]# 
[root@debug ~]# touch ansible
[root@debug ~]# rpm -qa | grep python-libs
python-libs-2.7.5-34.el7.x86_64
[root@debug ~]# virtualenv ansible
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 3, in <module>
    virtualenv.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 821, in main
    symlink=options.symlink)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 956, in create_environment
    site_packages=site_packages, clear=clear, symlink=symlink))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 1129, in install_python
    mkdir(lib_dir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 441, in mkdir
    os.makedirs(path)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 150, in makedirs
    makedirs(head, mode)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: 'ansible/lib'
[root@debug ~]# echo $?
1
[root@debug ~]# 

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 3, in <module>
    virtualenv.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 821, in main
    symlink=options.symlink)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 956, in create_environment

Expected results:

No error

Additional info:
Comment 2 Robert Kuska 2016-03-10 09:06:06 UTC 
The behavior is correct but error message needs polishing.

Does this seem ok to you?

> $ touch ansible
> $ virtualenv scripts
ERROR: File already exists and is not a directory.
Please provide a different path or delete the file.
