Package: libpython3.11 Version: 3.11.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
If the python3.11-venv package is not installed, the following *incorrect* error message is printed when creating a virtual environment: $ python3.11 -m venv my-venv Error: name 'cmd' is not defined But I expected the following, correct, error message: 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 install python3.11-venv You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv package, recreate your virtual environment. Failing command: ['/home/penlect/my-venv/bin/python3.11', '-m', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip'] This error happens because of a typo in which 'cmd' is used as a local variable instead of the attribute of the CalledProcessError exception in `/usr/lib/python3.11/venv/__init__.py`. Please see reference here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.CalledProcessError.cmd I created a merge request with a fix in the salsa-repo here: https://salsa.debian.org/cpython-team/python3/-/merge_requests/26 -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.0.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libpython3.11 depends on: ii libc6 2.36-6 ii libexpat1 2.5.0-1 ii libpython3.11-stdlib 3.11.1-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.13.dfsg-1 libpython3.11 recommends no packages. libpython3.11 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
