pipenv works with --python 3.9 fails with 3.10 (error message like #5109)

Issue description

When creating vrt. env. with pipenv and python 3.9 it works but fails if python3.10 is used. The mesages seemed to be the same than #5109 but the workaround provided does not work on my debian :

Expected same behavior with python3.9 and python3.10

Actual result

When creating vrt. env. with pipenv and python 3.10 it fails (Pipfile nor created and bin folder in subfolder local instead of the venv root folder) :

[MrEvilOnGitHub]

You seem to have fixed the bug. Didn’t run into any issues while installing 3.9 or 3.10 👍

[matteius]

@maximlomans I am currently at this moment working on a PR (unrelated to your comment) that would rely on the vendor’d version of pip inside pipenv for installs – currently pipenv references outside of itself for pip for installs which causes this issue. I believe my PR when its available will resolve this going forward, so I re-opened this issue to tag my work against.

Edit: though re-reading your stack trace I am less convinced that its what I say it is 😃
