I have python 3.6 installed in a virtual environment on Mint 18. Today I

I searched for sysconfig and found this:
/home/jfb/EVs/env36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/_backport/__pycache__/sysconfig.cpython-36.pyc
/home/jfb/EVs/env36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/_backport/sysconfig.cfg
/home/jfb/EVs/env36/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pip/_vendor/distlib/_backport/sysconfig.py
The results seem to be the same as when I searched a python 3.5 virtual
environment I have setup.
It has worked in the past as I have installed pylint and pykeyboard with it.
As I type this I just remembered Mint updated python 3.6 earlier today.
So now I suspect the update is involved. Has anyone else experienced this
and know how to fix it?
First, try a clean venv (python3.6 -m venv venv && ./venv/bin/pip help).
Ok, I just tried this and got this error.
jfb@jims-mint18 ~ $ python3.6 -m venv /home/jfb/EVs/env365 &&
./venv/bin/pip help
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip
is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.
apt-get install python3-venv
You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the
python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.
Failing command: ['/home/jfb/EVs/env365/bin/python3.6', '-Im',
'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']
Couple of things troubling about this message. I just checked and
python3-venv is installed, in fact I used it to install the python3.6
environment I'm having problems with. I did a search and ensurepip is on
my system at //usr/lib/python3.6/ensurepip.
