I'm trying to install venv but getting errors, same happens with pip.

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo apt-get install -y python3-venv
[sudo] password for phablet:

Package python3-venv is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

One option I've tested is to use Crackle to install the version of python you want
After that, you can use pip and venv.

@lduboeuf I'm building some python web app with local server. I would like it to be deployed on Ubuntu touch. And now, I just tried to run it by installing required python frameworks.

i don't know if it is possible to embed a custom python version within your click package, also running a web app server will probably need unrestricted access policy, will be hard to share it on open store later.
But someone with better knowledge need to answer
