Here's a bit more on the problem of Python-3.8.1 failing to install
all of the pip and pyvenv binaries to /usr/bin:

Beginning in late December 2019 I built LFS development version
systemd successfully. The hard drive on which I built it is still
running, so I compared the Python-related contents (from
Python-3.7.5) of its /usr/bin with the contents of /usr/bin from
the Python-3.8.1 I've been dealing with. Here are some results:

For the previous LFS Python-3.7.5 build:
#################
[root@localhost bin]# pwd
/usr/bin

[root@localhost bin]# ll pip* pyenv* 2to3
ls: cannot access 'pyenv*': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access '2to3': No such file or directory
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   507 Jan  2 13:56  pip
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     9 Jan  2 13:56  pip-3 -> ./pip-3.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   507 Jan  2 13:56  pip3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root     8 Jan  2 13:56  pip-3.7 -> ./pip3.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root   507 Jan  2 13:56  pip3.7
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 21080 Nov 28 08:35  pipewire
#################

For the current LFS Python-3.8.1 build:
#################
(lfs chroot) root:/usr/bin$ pwd
/usr/bin

(lfs chroot) root:/usr/bin$ ll pip* pyenv* 2to3
ls: cannot access 'pyenv*': No such file or directory
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb  3 20:45  2to3 -> 2to3-3.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Feb  3 20:46  pip3 -> pip3.8
#################

I hope this helps in diagnosing the root problem.

You are right pyvenv is no longer present.  I've removed that from the book.

Ok.

So what about the other pip programs, like the non-existent pip3.8 that the pip3 symlink is pointing to? I can't download a number of programs with "pip3 install whatever" until that is working.
