Well, running bash on Windows is decidedly non-standard. This is like
installing a Python package on a Linux system and then complaining
that it won't run under wine. I don't think that Python should be
expected to provide an activate script for all possible shells the
user might conceivably want to use.

Ah, I probably never tried using it inside a user dir. On Windows I
typically do development in a path close to the drive root, e.g.
C:\dev.
