I'm sorry to post to this ancient bug, but I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04, and I just want to create a virtual env with python 3.7, including pip (or some way to install modules). Doing this does not work:
It gives the error "The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not available".
Doing it with --without-pip works, but then there is no way to install modules in the virtualenv. (python -mpip in the virtualenv correctly says "No module named pip").
So what is the recommended way to install python 3.7 on Ubuntu 18.04 and create a "normal" virtual env?
