Is there any chance this will be made available without a separate python3-venv package? Since python 3.3 or 3.4 venv is considered as a core package, so the requirement to install python3-venv is somewhat non-intuitive.
Python developers in any sort of support chat will also always tell you that there's no need to install venv for a recent python3 since it's now part of python, so this is unusual packaging in terms of common user expectations. Combined with the somewhat helpful error when python3-venv is not installed, it seems like this really should work without python3-venv to start with. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python3-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290847 Title: pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in python3.4 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in python3.4 package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Hello, I noticed the following # fails python3.4 -m venv --clear python-venv Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1 # works, but no pip python3.4 -m venv --clear --without-pip python-venv Thank you To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1290847/+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
