Interpretation

The expected file, virtualenv.py, is in the src directory, not the root directory, in the current tar file. The current tar file in my case seems to be: https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/4e/8b/75469c270ac544265f0020aa7c4ea925c5284b23e445cf3aa8b99f662690/virtualenv-16.1.0.tar.gz

Proposed Solution:

Update installer logic near line 124 to also look for virtualenv.py in ./src. Popen([sys.executable, './virtualenv.py', lib_dir], cwd=t).wait()

For my system, install.sh worked after changing line 124 to this: Popen([sys.executable, './src/virtualenv.py', lib_dir], cwd=t).wait()

Hi @renateEta, this is probably because the installer is currently broken (see #720). You should be able to install it by downloading the suggested fixed script from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lektor/lektor/5f2c070f6c89df5fbfb6cdf8c539207b925c59d8/bin/install.py and then run it using Python.

In a terminal you’d do:

curl -sf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lektor/lektor/5f2c070f6c89df5fbfb6cdf8c539207b925c59d8/bin/install.py | python3

This commit is what broke this: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/commit/af5711ca9346b265f196a9cf266cecda9bca5b91#diff-51642b24ac9529f4baa0f483fa257d2d

First released in Virtualenv 16.1.0 on October 31 2018.
