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

[Harry P]

I'm now testing Ubuntu 15.10, which seems *even more* broken, since it
seems to have a mixed mode of Python3.4 and 3.5.  there's no
python3.4-pip package, which means there is essentially no way of
getting a working pip for python 3.4.

I know I'm not a contributor, so I don't *deserve* answers, but I still
don't see why Python has to be broken under debian/ubuntu?  Why can't it
just ship with all of its standard library, like it does on all other
platforms?

With apologies for the moaning.  I do appreciate all the hard work, and
I know there are probably good reasons.

  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
