Seriously? Debian don't provide venv in the standard Python install? That's just broken.
Yup. And RHEL/CentOS don't provide Python 3.x by default at all - you need to grab it via other means.
Wow. I have no problem with not providing Python 3 by default, but shipping a version that omits features that are non-optional parts of the standard library is ridiculous. I'm getting more and more inclined to make my default response to bug reports from people on Debian/Ubuntu be "report it to your vendor or demonstrate it on a vanilla build of Python" :-( Paul
