pyvenv-3.4 returned non-zero exit status 1

Question

I\'m in Kubuntu 14.04 , I want to create a virtualenv with python3.4. I did with python2.7 before in other folder. But when I try:

pyvenv-3.4 venv
         


        

Answer 1

Same problem on Linux Mint 17 (which is basically Ubuntu 14.04). Installing python3.4-venv didn't work, so I created virtualenv without pip and then installed pip manually.

1. Create virtualenv and activate it

   python3 -m venv --without-pip foo
   source foo/bin/activate
   

2. Download latest versions of setuptools and pip:

   wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-7.0.tar.gz#md5=6245d6752e2ef803c365f560f7f2f940
   wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pip/pip-1.5.6.tar.gz#md5=01026f87978932060cc86c1dc527903e
   

3. Unpack and install them

   tar xf setuptools-7.0.tar.gz
   tar xf pip-1.5.6.tar.gz
   cd setuptools-7.0
   python setup.py install
   cd ../pip-1.5.6
   python setup.py install
