PDM always chooses __pypackages__

[adriangb]

Using PDM version 2.8.2 it seems to always choose __pypackages__ over .venv even if I manually create the .venv then run PDM install. I've cleaned the repo (there is no __pypackages__ folder) and wiped the PDM config as far as I can tell. Am I missing something? Is there any way to completely disable PEP 582 mode?

How to reproduce?

That's the thing, I don't seem to be able to reproduce this, at least not in a clean Docker container. I've tried uninstalling PDM via curl -sSL https://pdm.fming.dev/install-pdm.py | python3 - / curl -sSL https://pdm.fming.dev/install-pdm.py | python3 - --remove but the issue persists. I tried deleting the configs in ~/Library/Application\ Support/pdm (I'm on a Mac) but again no change. I get the feeling there's some misconfiguration somewhere but I don't know where else PDM could store configs or why it thinks it needs to use __pypackage__ even when run from an activated venv. So any pointers in troubleshooting / cleanup would be appreciated. I'd also be happy just disabling anything PEP 582 related since I don't use it.

Okay looks like PDM_IGNORE_ACTIVE_VENV was being set, I found it and deleted it, all good now. Appreciate the help.
