In Python 3.6+, the pyvenv module is deprecated.Your python interpreter version is 3.8.

Use the following one-liner instead:

python3 -m venv <myenvname>

Python already ships with its builtin "virtualenv" called venv since version 3.3. You no longer need to install or download the virtualenv scripts for Python 3.3+.

You want to write it like this:

python -m venv {virtualenv}

replace '{virtualenv}' with the name you want your virtual environment to have.
