[wizwiz50]

Public bug reported:

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
