Research direction

Start from the post_gen_project hook and the shown python -m venv venv command, then reproduce the failure with the reported Python 3.7.1 setup. Done means project generation completes without the venv error and the generated environment is created successfully.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have installed python 3.7.1 in my notebook. I want to use dash-component-boilerplate as base project for my company. Unfortunately I got error like this.

Executing: python -m venv venv
/usr/bin/python: No module named venv
post_gen_project command failed: python -m venv venv

        venv creation failed.
        Make sure you have installed virtualenv on python 2.

ERROR: Stopping generation because post_gen_project hook script didn't exit successfully
Hook script failed (exit status: 1)

Hope this issue will be resolved soon.
