Public bug reported: On a clean 20.04 machine (or container), observe the following:
apt-get update apt-get install -y python3-virtualenv python3 -m virtualenv foo && source foo/bin/activate pip list You will notice there are a plethora of extra packages in the virtual environment that should not normally be there, resulting in a dirty virtual environment. The packages listed here are those that are bundled with pip: https://github.com/pypa/pip/tree/master/src/pip/_vendor To make matters worse, the latest release of pip bundles incompatible versions of libraries. The net result is that `pip install pep517` will show that it is already installed, and but `import pep517` will result in an ImportError. This problem has been fixed in the Debian Testing/Unstable python- virtualenv package. Could the Ubuntu package backport these fixes? This is blocking Ansible supporting 20.04 officially, since the dirty virtualenvs are causing our tests to fail. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/69203 ** Affects: python-virtualenv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880749 Title: python3 virtualenvs include (broken) bundled pip deps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-virtualenv/+bug/1880749/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
