When trying to create a python3 virtual environment, I get errors about ensurepip missing, however I have installed python3-venv. The python3-venv package does not include ensurepip: python3.8 -mvenv .env 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: ['/mnt/d/src/.env/bin/python3.8', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip'] This is on Focal Fossa: Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 python3-venv: Installed: 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 3.8.2-0ubuntu2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1875699/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
