Couldn't you just upgrade to Devuan 5, then?

It seems weird that something would work with the (presumably) older
version of Python in Devuan 3 and the (presumably) newer version of
Python in Devuan 5, but not with the version in Devuan 4.

You need to install Python first to create a venv. AFAIK there is no way
to set up a venv first and then install Python into it.
Does Devuan have a testing or unstable suite? You might be able to
install a newer Python version from that. If not your best bet is to
install Python from source.
