If we look at above output. virtualev version is getting updated and it is causing it

Upstream issue is here https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1551

[Sorin Sbarnea (ssbarnea)]

Check https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1551 for workarounds, is caused by virtualenv being installed with outdated/wrong dependencies.

[Jesse Pretorius (jesse-pretorius)]

I'm not so sure that it's virtualenv [1]. I think it may be setuptools [2].

[1] https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1576
[2] https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/1990

We certainly found that downgrading setuptools in the virtualenv made everything work.

    [install-deps]Install "virtualenv<20.0.1"

    New release of virtualenv broke the venv creation and
    started returning 'ensure_text' module not found.
    Here is the related issue:
    https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/1551

    In order to fix that, we need to lower the version.
    Removing python-virtualenv from bindep as we are
    installing it from pip.

    Includes pinning of molecule as newer pre-release broke the job
    while at gate.

    [install-deps] Use venv instead of virtualenv when possible

    Avoids using virtualenv on python3 where venv is natively built-in. This will also
    make sure that we're not pip linstalling virtualenv when its not required.
