No. And that helped me find the problem.  I had an old

.pydistutils.cfg

file with a line:

install_lib = ~/Library/Python/$py_version_short/lib/python/site-packages

That completely upset the venv.

(whether it should have done or not, I don't know. I would have
expected venv to ignore pydistutils.cfg)

Thank you both for your help!

Best,

N.
