I'm on Debian testing/buster, and an apt upgrade recently updated my
python3 version from 3.6.5 to 3.6.6rc1. When I try and create a venv
now, I get the message:
$ python3 -m venv ve
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: ['/home/nik/ve/bin/python3.6', '-Im', 'ensurepip',
'--upgrade', '--default-pip']
The python3-venv package is already installed on my system. If ensurepip
isn't installed by default on Debian, this error message should state
that and give the user instructions on how to install it.
