Documentation

Fromhttps://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html:

venv will usually install the most recent version of Python that you have available. If you have multiple versions of Python on your system, you can select a specific Python version by running python3 or whichever version you want.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#module-venv though makes it clear that the venv will usethe Python installation from which the command was run.

So I believe it should be updated to:

venv will install the Python version from which the command was run. If you have multiple versions of Python on your system, you can select a specific Python version by running python3 or whichever version you want.
