@rspeer @wolfgang-richter The bug is "sort of fixed"
You have to install python3-venv, this will make the ensurepip module available, and the creation of a virtualenv will succeed Imho this is an horrible naming choice: the error you'll get when trying to run `python3 -m venv` mentions ensurepip, and most ubuntu/debian users might have heard about the fact that ensurepip is disabled in the distro then, `apt list ensurepip` or `apt search ensurepip` won't yield any useful results (just like I tried to do, before being puzzled about the "fix released" status of this bug) moreover, `--without-pip` will just work even without the new package, making the name "python3-venv" even more misleading Still, I'd caution you AGAINST using venv... I just found another trivial bug. You're better off using virtualenv, given how it's battle tested -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290847 Title: pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1290847/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
