New submission from Laura Creighton: I am reporting this here so that the next person who runs into this and looks into the bug tracker will find out what to do.
You cannot create a venv with Python3.3, 3.4, 3.5. on debian (and likely on many debian-derived distros). Instead you get Error: Command '['<directory>/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1 Debian knows all about this, but they don't want to make changes. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=732703 Instead, if you want venv to work you will need to install the debian packages python3-venv (for 3.4) and python3.5-venv for 3.5. Can somebody close this issue now, as this is clearly a debian issue and not a Python bug. I am just reporting it here so that somebody else who has the problem can find out what to do. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 250887 nosy: dstufft, eric.araujo, lac priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: venv does not work with debian releases, if you want to install pip type: behavior versions: Python 3.3, Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25151> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
