Python's venv problem with ensurepip in Ubuntu

Ubuntu 14.04's Python 3.4 installation has a problem with ensurepip module, as described in this bug. So if you follow the steps mentioned in the official documentation, you would see an error message like this

➜  Python  python3 -m venv py3.4venv
Error: Command '['/home/thefourtheye//py34venv/bin/python3', '-Im', 'ensurepip', '--upgrade', '--default-pip']' returned non-zero exit status 1

To resolve this problem, first install the venv, without pip, like this

python3 -m venv py3.4venv --without-pip

And then if you install pip, like this, it will still fail

(py3.4venv) ➜  py3.4venv  python -m ensurepip --upgrade
/home/thefourtheye/Python/py3.4venv/bin/python: No module named ensurepip
(py3.4venv) ➜  py3.4venv  python
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
...

So, you need to install, pip separately, like mentioned in the pip's official documentation. So, the actual list of steps go like this

➜  Python  python3 -m venv py3.4venv --without-pip 
➜  Python  cd py3.4venv 
➜  py3.4venv  source bin/activate
