Re: Debian 12: errors when using Python3 venv?



Hey there,

Assuming you meant Debian 12 here, based on the subject line, and am answering as such.
 
I get the following error, does anyone know how to resolve this?  Am I missing some packages that need to be installed?

1843 [deb12:~]$ python3 -m venv pt

First time I ran this I was notified that I didn't have the python3-venv package installed.  After taking care of that, I was able to run your command without any errors on my clean Debian 12 system.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 189, in _run_module_as_main
  File "<frozen runpy>", line 148, in _get_module_details

    sem = threading.Semaphore()
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'threading' has no attribute 'Semaphore' (most likely due to a circular import)

This won't be helpful information for you in that I am not providing a solution, but please know that I couldn't reproduce your issue on my system so I suspect there is something amiss with yours.

I hope this is something of a pointer for you.
