Hello,
I can confirm your changes are working here:
$ python3.9 -m ensurepip
Looking in links: /tmp/tmp27uix56t
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages
(80.9.0)
Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages
(26.0.1)
$ python3.9 -m venv venv3.9
$ ls ~/venv3.9/bin/
activate activate.csh activate.fish Activate.ps1 easy_install
easy_install-3.9 pip pip3 pip3.9 python python3 python3.9.exe
$ python3.12 -m ensurepip
Looking in links: /tmp/tmpxzfy0fpp
Requirement already satisfied: pip in /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages
(26.0.1)
$ python3.12 -m venv venv3.12
$ ls ~/venv3.12/bin/
activate activate.csh activate.fish Activate.ps1 pip pip3 pip3.12
python python3 python3.12
Many thanks and regards
