On Ubuntu 22.04 when the `python3-venv` package is not installed:
* Importing the `venv` module will succeed.
* Running `python3 -m venv --help` will output help.
* Running `python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR` fails with the following output:
```console
$ python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available. On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.
apt install python3.10-venv
You may need to use sudo with that command. After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.
Failing command: /root/venv/bin/python3
```
When running in a rootless environment installing the `python3-venv`
package is not tenable. However, the `virtualenv` package can be
installed via `pip` in the users home directory.
This patch checks the result of `python3 -m venv $VENV_DIR`, if that
fails then it will fallback to calling `python3 -m virtualenv $VENV_DIR`
instead.

I'm using the PR for multiple months now in a rootless scenario as described by kbenzie and I haven't encountered any issues. I think it would be great to get this merged. It is only a very minor change, and the user could be even warned that the fallback happens to make it more clear that this is not the default behavior. |
