Dear Maintainer,
When I tried to create a python3 venv environment, I got an error message
"Error: name 'cmd' is not defined" and got partially-created venv environment.
Steps I did:
- Ran ` $ python3 -m venv venv ` to create a venv directory under the
current directory, without installing python3-venv.
Expected:
- Have an error message "The virtual environment was not created successfully
because ensurepip is not available."
Actual:
- Got an error message "Error: name 'cmd' is not defined" instead.
I found the following code snippet in /usr/lib/python3.10/venv/__init__.py
is suspicious. It uses a variable 'cmd' without defining it.

> """Installs or upgrades pip in a virtual environment"""

I installed python3-venv and now venv works for me.
But I'd be glad if I could get the correct error message.
Thanks,
