Use python -m venv

See original GitHub issue

For python3, virtualenvs should be created using python -m venv https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments

But in https://github.com/sashahart/vex/blob/b7680c40897b8cbe6aae55ec9812b4fb11738192/vex/make.py#L46 the command is set to use virtualenv. It would be nice to detect if there is a venv module available and use that instead of the virtualenv command

@rsyring venv is now part of the standard library in python3. While I accept that there is a work-around, I think that vex should work with the standard library version.

At this point, I’ve left vex and created my own tool that does what I want it to do because it’s really obvious we disagree on direction and I am not going to waste my time arguing with someone that’s not interested in new ideas.
