[Bug 1290847] Re: pyvenv fails due to mising ensurepip module

[Donald Stufft]

virtualenv relies on some dirty hacks (right now at least, in the future
it'll reuse venv where available) so using venv is preferable. However
the python-virtualenv package was allowed to (at least for now, I
believe barry is planning to update it to the venv solution once it's
done) violate the Debian policy whereas the venv/ensurepip solution
wasn't. So python-virtualenv will work correctly and venv won't until
barry's work is done.

  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
