Install python3-venv module on linux mint


Try running this command:

sudo apt-get install python3.4-venv

Then use this:

python3 -m venv test

the package name is python3.4-venv and not python3-venv.


For python 3.6 I found out it was a locale issue, running this:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Seems to solve the issue.

I use python 3.6 , and so the following did the trick for me:$ sudo apt-get install python3.6-venv

(the problem was that apt-get install python3-venv would virtualenv for 3.5)
