Within the Google Cloud Instance SSH console (running Debian), I installed Flask using pip.
Running python3 demo.py from the console or demo.py from the python3 interpreter (3.5.3) brings up ImportError: cannot import name 'Flask'.
Running sudo apt-get install python3-venv appears to successfully install and set up venv for python 3.5. But when attempting to create a virtualenv based on the Flask docs:
$ python3 -m venv venv
/usr/bin/python3: No module named venv
Attempting sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv results in:
dpkg: error processing package virtualenv (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
python3-virtualenv
virtualenv
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Other unsuccessful suggestions include:
$ source venv/bin/activate
-bash: venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory
and:
$ sudo virtualenv venv
New python executable in /home/user/demo/venv/bin/python
ERROR: The executable /home/user/demo/venv/bin/python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is u'/usr' (should be u'/home/user/demo/venv')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable
Using python -V confirms that the python version is 2.7 in the console. For fun, running python demo.py returns
ImportError: cannot import name zip_longest
Following this thread, I tried pip install --upgrade virtualenv resulting in:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Am I missing something? Is this an issue with Google Cloud Console? Is there a workaround?
