Matthias, that command clearly only works if you have sudo access. This
makes it a bad idea for *most* of the scripts that would need to use the
pyvenv command.

Like I said, you should not need elevated privileges to use the Python
standard library. Especially something whose purpose is to make it
easier to install packages as a user.

  Hello,

  I noticed the following

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