But pyvenv is, since release 3.4, part of the Python standard library. It's not a separated tool or something like that. It's like if the Python os module is shipped in a separated package, and users must install it before importing it in a program.
And I think that, for a module which is meant to be in the standard library, "but on Ubuntu you should install the python3-venv package before" isn't a great thing, is it?

Bug description:
  Hello,

  I noticed the following

  # fails
  python3.4 -m venv --clear python-venv
  Error: Command '['.../external/python-venv/bin/python3.4', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1

  # works, but no pip
  python3.4 -m venv --clear --without-pip python-venv

  Thank you
