WSL 22.04 - Python 3.10 - pipenv does not work

[felipecrp]

Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19044.1645]

WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.10.102.1

Distro Version

Ubuntu 22.04

Other Software

pipenv

Repro Steps

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-pip
pip installl pipenv
export PATH="/home/user/.local/bin:$PATH"
mkdir test
cd test
pipenv install

Expected Behavior

It was expected to create a pipenv environment with Python 3.10.

It works flawless in previous wsl python 20.04 and 20.10 (with python 3.10).

Actual Behavior

There is an error on pipenv and the environment is not created.

@felipecrp the virtual environment is being created but can't be activated because the interpreter is located in <virt_env_name>/local/bin/. To manually activate your new environment use source /home/user/.local/share/virtualenvs/ansible-U3vexcod/local/bin/activate in the example above, until a fix will be provided.

Sample output:

tux@RIPPER:~/foo$ source /home/tux/.local/share/virtualenvs/foo-FuLOVPqO/local/bin/activate
(foo) tux@RIPPER:~/foo$ ls

The issue is being tracked at pypa/pipenv#5075. The bug is in setuptools and is being tracked at pypa/setuptools#3278

[felipecrp]

@elsaco Thank you for the response!

They posted a workaround in pypa/pipenv#5075 (comment). We can run pipenv using stdlib to create de environment:

$ SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib pipenv install

Which results in the creation of the virtualenv:

To activate this project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell.
Alternatively, run a command inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

We just need to set SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS to create the environment. Apparently, after the creation we can install packages and use pipenv.

Still, there are some warnings when we run pipenv:

/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py:123: PkgResourcesDeprecationWarning: 0.1.43ubuntu1 is an invalid version and will not be supported in a future release

Closing since this is not a WSL issue
