Hello,
I've installed (and then reinstalled) Python312 (3.12.12-1), venv, pip,
setuptools, wheel all for python312.
Still when I execute `python3.12 -m ensurepip` I have this error:
```bash
$ python3.12 -m ensurepip
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<frozen runpy>", line 198, in _run_module_as_main
...
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:
'/usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl'
python on Cygwin was always built without ensurepip
so no surprise that is not working.
I don't know why this setting was used before I took over.
I am checking now to build with ensurepip
```
...
I'm not asking for workaround(s), I'm asking if it is an error in cygwin or
my setup. I hit this error during troubleshooting other error.

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem here and gave up recently. Looking again
into this I found the missing file in package python312-virtualenv via
"cygcheck -p pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl".
After installing the package python312-virtualenv, the missing file is
not at the expected location.
So with a new directory /usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/ and a symbolic
link
/usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl ->
/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/virtualenv/seed/wheels/embed/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
"python3.12 -m ensurepip" worked for me.
thanks for the checking, I will look on it.
I'm aware you are not asking for a workaround, so concerning your question I
guess this is a glitch in a cygwin package or maybe upstream.
Finally I am considering my cygwin transition from python3.9 to python3.12
because "python3.12 -m venv venv" also succeeds now.

Harald
