Package: python3.8-venv
Version: 3.8.7-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
trying to create a venv with python3.8 on debian sid with
python3.8 -m venv myvenv
gave the output
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-get install python3-venv
You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the
python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.
Failing command: ['/home/user/myvenv/bin/python3.8', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--
upgrade', '--default-pip']
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
creating a venv doesn't work. I installed python3-venv and
python3.8-venv.
Adding some tracing to the catchall try/except in
/usr/lib/python3.8/venv/__init__.py line 297 yields this traceback:

* What was the outcome of this action?
no venv.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
a virtual environment to be created.
Furthermore, I can run previously created virtualenv using python3.8, but I
can't install packages with pip, also with missing distutils errors.
I don't know if this is a bug or if it's to be expected on unstable. But it
seems to me that python version numbers started to change faster lately.
What's
debian's policy for other versions of python than the latests ? If older
version have no support, is there a debian way to work with multiple
versions?
Or should I use something like pyenv for those cases?
Thanks,
Urs
