I'm sorry to post to this ancient bug, but I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04, and I just want to create a virtual env with python 3.7, including pip (or some way to install modules). Doing this does not work:
% sudo apt install python3.7 python3.7-venv % python3.7 -m venv py37-venv It gives the error "The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not available". Doing it with --without-pip works, but then there is no way to install modules in the virtualenv. (python -mpip in the virtualenv correctly says "No module named pip"). So what is the recommended way to install python 3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 and create a "normal" virtual env? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to python3-defaults in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1290847 Title: pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module Status in python3-defaults package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in python3.4 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in python3.4 package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Hello, I noticed the following # fails python3.4 -m venv --clear python-venv Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1 # works, but no pip python3.4 -m venv --clear --without-pip python-venv Thank you To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-defaults/+bug/1290847/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
