Not sure where you're reading that. I'm seeing: """ Note The pyvenv script has been deprecated as of Python 3.6 in favor of using python3 -m venv to help prevent any potential confusion as to which Python interpreter a virtual environment will be based on. """ I think that's pretty clear. "python3 -m venv env" is the standard and recommended way to spin up a virtual environment.
