Hi Trisquel Users!
Today I hit a problem when trying to install the package python3-venv.
It seems to depend upon python3.5-venv and that depends on
python-pip-whl, which does not have any installation candidate on
Trisquel. Here are the outputs of commands I tried:
~~~~~~~~
$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv

Can I still get Python Venv for Python 3 working somehow?
I see, that in Ubuntu the package does exist:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/python-pip-whl
