Matthias, that command clearly only works if you have sudo access. This
makes it a bad idea for *most* of the scripts that would need to use the
pyvenv command.

Like I said, you should not need elevated privileges to use the Python
standard library. Especially something whose purpose is to make it
easier to install packages as a user.

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
