change python builder to use venv

Open aaron-prindle opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Currently FTL uses virtualenv to support multiple python versions. It would make sense to use venv instead moving forward.

venv does not support multiple python versions, so it does not support -p /opt/pythonx.x.

So, we should ideally have this change be backwards and forward compatible. Perhaps, have a new flag --venv_cmd which would be mutually exclusive with the virtual_cmd flag and if venv_cmd is used ,not add the -p python_cmd flag.
