Cursor breaks python virtual environments!
If you create a virtual environment when cursor is running it will change the python executables to a symbolic link to cursor.
Then if you try to run any python command it will just open cursor instead.... This has to be fixed, as it breaks working on python projects.
same problem
Likewise, same problem
Same problem. I tried selecting the correct Python virtual environment for the workspace, but it still doesn't work. I tried restarting the app, and it worked, but when I start a new chat, it happens again.

In addition, it appears to overwrite configs in ~/.local. The project thst generated this issue, now long since moved off the local machine, had some config cruft left over. It'd be nice if the default folders available were limited to the repository.

I think it happens because I'm using zsh. When I use Bash or the default one, it's normal. Hmm. But since I want to use zsh, I tried this trick, and it works: https://github.com/getcursor/cursor/issues/1484#issuecomment-2702842883. Hope they can fix this soon

well and for a week i was wondering why it is not working, thanks alot, i used bash to make virtual env , then i used zsh and it was picking right pip from virtual env instead of system pip
