$ python -m ensurepip
ensurepip is disabled in Debian/Ubuntu for the system python.
I don't want a workaround for this, I want to know why. I cant find an explanation or justification for this anywhere. This stops the emacs elpy package from working correctly, and I dont want to hack that to make it work. All pointers appreciated.
And yes, I have installed python3-venv - makes no difference.
What does it even mean to say it is disabled for the system python? How is it disabled? By what means?
Debian 11.

Thanks. I know. On my system python is linked to /usr/bin/python3.9. Same problem exists if I specify python3.
However, I have now found the ensurepip module code and the 'disabled' message is coming from there - its a check to see you are running in a venv. And indeed, running in a venv works.
So my actual issue devolves into why is elpy not working properly - seems there is something wrong with the emacs setup I have.
