virtualenv: error: argument --creator: invalid choice: 'venv' (choose from 'builtin', 'cpython2-posix')

Issue description

pipenv check fails or actually everything fails; it does install the python version correctly however.

Expected result

it to work, obviously 😉

Actual result

Failed to create virtual environment.

When possible, provide the verbose output (--verbose), especially for locking and dependencies resolving issues.

Steps to replicate

Provide the steps to replicate (which usually at least includes the commands and the Pipfile).

Pipfile:

[[source]]
name = "pypi"
url = "https://pypi.org/simple"
verify_ssl = true

pipenv check already fails

May I Bring this up again?

Having the same issue using 3.10.6. removing virtualenv installed from apt made no difference.

pipx installations and bare pip installation behave the same.

Figured out it’s not working for python2 installs via: pipenv --python 2.7.18 Guess there was some change which made it unavailable. Will post an update as soon as I check the version of pipenv which I use on another computer to create venvs.

@f0o We don’t have support for python 3.11 yet
