No, a distribution has it's own conventions and policies.  We don't install
development packages and X libraries by default.  We shouldn't install the gdbm
module by default, which makes it easy to combine incompatible software
licenses.  I can see your point, but unless you change these distro conventions,
there is no point insisting on that.  Sure Python comes with batteries, but it
doesn't include the whole power plant.

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
