The following repo-install.sls used to work on ubuntu 16, python 3.5
repo-install-dependencies:
pkg.installed:
- names:
- python3-pip
- python3-venv
- mercurial
- git
- subversion
bin_env:
virtualenv.managed:
- name: {{ bin_env }}
- pip_pkgs:
- pip
- setuptools
- require:
- pkg: repo-install-dependencies
- venv_bin: "/usr/bin/pyvenv"
On a new Ubuntu 20 server, I am trying to get the above working using salt 3002.2. I know on python 3.8 use of pyvenv is deprecated and it is recommended to use python3 -m venv <dirname> to create virtual env.
My question is, how do I set bin_env? Is virtualenv.managed still relevant, if yes, how can we make it pick venv in python distribution? Or are we supposed to use custom function, something like the following?
bin_env:
cmd.run:
- name : python3 -m venv {{ bin_env }}
- require:
- pkg: repo-install-dependencies
