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

[Ivo]

What makes the situation with these wheels so much more drastic than
what happens with python-virtualenv already?

https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/python-virtualenv/filelist

I don't understand why there needs to be an entire effort de-bundling
and de-(re-?)-vendoring files and why this hasn't been applied to
virtualenv as well?

With the `--without-ensurepip` flag on, the code is only used in
isolated venvs, so it can't effect the system.

  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
