[SOLVED] python3.9 venv testing error message

2020-12-27 Thread songbird
  the mismatch of the version of distutils prevented it from
working so the solution was to upgrade distutils from unstable
and it works now.

python3.9 venv testing error message

2020-12-16 Thread songbird
  as it is testing perhaps there is a temporary glitch in
the packages for python3.9, but it has been there for at
least a week if not longer.  oh, i do have python-is-python3
and there are no python2 programs anywhere on this system 
that i know of.


  when i run the command:

=
$ python -m venv env

  setting up virtual environment /home/me/src/salsa/env
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/me/src/salsa/env/bin/python', '-Im', 'ensurepip', 
'--upgrade', '--default-pip']

=


  the package mentioned is installed:


=

$ dpkg -l | grep python3-venv
ii  python3-venv 3.9.0-4amd64   
 pyvenv-3 binary for python3 (default python3 version)

=

  any ideas?  :)  thanks!
