title: Can't create a python virtual environment on Ubuntu 18.04
body: <p>I'm a complete beginner to Ubuntu and I'm trying to create a virtual environment on Ubuntu 18.04. I had one running and it was working just fine, but I don't know what I did and know I cant get it to run.</p>
  
  <p>I deleted my old <code>env/</code> file and now I'm trying to create a new one using</p>
  
  <pre><code>python3 -m venv env
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I get the following error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Error: Command '['/home/user/app/env/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit s
    tatus 1.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>What gives?</p>
