Hi Ross,
Thank you for you prompt reply.
Apologies if I was not clear enough in my previous message.
python3-pyvenv is indeed a package that gets built with python3. However,
pyvenv is just a short script that imports the venv module. Including the
python3-pyvenv package does not solve the issue as the creation of a virtual
environment using "python3 -m venv my_env" or "pyvenv my_env" results in a
error about the missing venv module.
See the entire content of pyvenv:
---------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/bin/python3.5
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
rc = 1
try:
import venv
venv.main()
rc = 0
except Exception as e:
print('Error: %s' % e, file=sys.stderr)
sys.exit(rc)
----------------------------------------------------
The venv package (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) itself is
missing although its source is available within Python 3.5
(https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.6/Python-3.5.6.tgz). As mentioned
earlier, it seems the issue is because there is no entry in the manifest from
which the various Python 3 modules are created
(https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3/python3-manifest.json).
The manifest is generated from
https://github.com/openembedded/openembedded-core/blob/master/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python3/create_manifest3.py,
and it does not seem obvious to me how to go about correctly adding a new
module to the manifest, using create_manifest3.py or otherwise.
Can you, or others on the mailing list, provide some guidance on how to go
about adding the venv module to the manifest?
Regards,
Hugues/Jonathan

venv is packaged in python3-pyvenv. Patches welcome to get that
installed out of the box.
