'WHEEL_PKG_DIR': '/usr/share/python-wheels', -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
The 'ensurepip' module '__init__.py' requires a pip wheel to be included
either in the '_bundled' subdirectory or else in the directory
referenced by the 'WHEEL_PKG_DIR' variable in
'/usr/lib/python3.12/_sysconfigdata__cygwin_x86_64-cygwin.py'.
In python packages prior to 3.12 it was the former, but it appears it is
now the latter - the 'python-pip-wheel' package installs it in
'/usr/share/python-wheels'. This causes venv creation via 'python -m
venv' to fail in the '__init__.py' file of the 'ensurepip' module.
To fix this line 1294 of
'/usr/lib/python3.12/_sysconfigdata__cygwin_x86_64-cygwin.py' should be
changed to:
