there is nothing broken in "default language behaviour".  There is a binary
missing which enables you to create a virtual environment.

shipping virtualenv in such a way is a mistake, which only was discovered after
the release.  Knowingly shipping something which we cannot ship makes things worse.

The issue was known way before the release, and it was promised to get fixed
before the release (which didn't happen).  So the next time if you are
interested in a fix included in a release, please help understanding and fixing
these issues.

  Hello,

  I noticed the following

  Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1
