Well, not exactly. Do you do python -m venv, or py -x.x -m venv or pythonx -m venv ? Wait, it's not installed by default on debian.
Seriously? Debian don't provide venv in the standard Python install? That's just broken.
Frankly, I don't know where the current discussion comes from, but on two recent Debian and Ubuntu setups, I get:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/python3.5/venv/__init__.py libpython3.5-stdlib:amd64: /usr/lib/python3.5/venv/__init__.py
Which, for the uninitiated, means "the venv module is provided by the Debian/Ubuntu package named libpython3.5-stdlib". That package is, in turn, a dependency of the "python3.5" package.
Thanks for the clarification. I was surprised by the assertion, but didn't have a Debian system to check, so it's good to know it's false.
