seems that venv doesn't copy the standard Libs directory into the virtual 
environment; if I do that by hand then I get a proper working virtual 
environment. Also seems fairly half baked to change the name bin to Scripts, but 
perhaps there's some windows centric reason for that even though the Scripts dir 
ends up with a lot of dlls & pyds in it. I suppose that ps1 files are in fact 
scripts.
