I'm new to Ubuntu (20.04.2.0 LTS) and trying to get Python3.9.6 and Pip to work with Virtualenv.

I hope some of you experienced Ubuntu users can help me :)

I have no problem using default Python (3.8.10):

$ python3 -V Python 3.8.10



$ whereis python3 

/usr/bin/python3.8



$ pip3 -V 

pip 21.1.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)



$ virtualenv env_python3.8 

created virtual environment CPython3.8.10.final.0-64 in 155ms



$ source env_python3.8/bin/activate



(env_python3.8) usagi@dev:~$ pip list 

Package Version

pip 20.0.2 pkg-resources 0.0.0

setuptools 44.0.0 wheel 0.34.2



(env_python3.8) usagi@dev:~$ pip install django 

Successfully installed asgiref-3.4.1 django-3.2.5 pytz-2021.1 sqlparse-0.4.1



(env_python3.8) usagi@dev:~$ pip list 

Package Version

asgiref 3.4.1

Django 3.2.5

pip 20.0.2 pkg-resources 0.0.0

pytz 2021.1 setuptools 44.0.0 sqlparse 0.4.1

wheel 0.34.2

These steps work without any problems, but if I do the same steps for Python3.9.6 (from source), it will not work:

$ python3.9 -V 

Python 3.9.6



$ whereis python3 

/usr/local/bin/python3.9



Guess this is one the problems, pip3 looking at Python3.8

$ pip3 -V 

pip 21.1.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/pip (python 3.8)



$ virtualenv -p /usr/local/bin/python3.9 env_python3.9 

created virtual environment CPython3.9.6.final.0-64 in 113ms



$ source env_python3.9/bin/activate



(env_python3.9) usagi@dev:~$ python -V 

Python 3.9.6



(env_python3.9) usagi@dev:~$ pip -V

Tried to find information about the error but could not find a solution.

If any of you have had the same problem or recognize the problem and would like to help me, I am grateful for all the help I can get.
