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

[Jonas Thiem]

Is there any chance this will be made available without a separate
python3-venv package? Since python 3.3 or 3.4 venv is considered as a
core package, so the requirement to install python3-venv is somewhat
non-intuitive.

Python developers in any sort of support chat will also always tell you
that there's no need to install venv for a recent python3 since it's now
part of python, so this is unusual packaging in terms of common user
expectations.

Combined with the somewhat helpful error when python3-venv is not
installed, it seems like this really should work without python3-venv to
start with.

  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
