Package: python-pip-whl
Version: 20.3.4-4+deb11u1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
I have been using python3 -m venv --system-site-packages my_venv in several
distributions and
in all cases the virtual environment contains a minimal python installation
which uses the
system python with a pip and setuptools package that matches the version of the
sytem.
However in Debian 11 doing that ends up with a version of setuptools which is
different and
older than the system one:
$ dpkg -l python3-setuptools
ii python3-setuptools 52.0.0-4 all Python3 Distutils Enhancements
$ pip list | grep setuptools
setuptools 52.0.0
$ python3 -m venv --system-site-packages my_venv
$ . ./my_venv/bin/activate
pip list | grep setuptools
setuptools 44.1.1
It seems that this is due to the too-old wheel provided by the python-pip-whl
package:
$ ls /usr/share/python-wheels/setuptools-44.1.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl
I am not sure whether it is guaranteed to be like that, but my expectation is
that the pip and setuptools versions int the venv matches the system ones.
Thank you!

I'm afraid that this is the expected behaviour, we kept setuptools 44.1
for Python 2.7 compatibility. Our venv code wasn't smart enough to
correctly select the python3-only version, at the time.
Very soon after this version of python-pip, we implemented all of these
changes. So it's different in bookworm.
