Research direction
Reproduce the reported command on Ubuntu 24.04 with Python 3.12.9, then inspect the official installer script's environment-creation path and the referenced /install/poetry-installer-error-m9digvmf.log output. Done means the installer completes successfully in this environment without the /etc/poetry/venv/bin/python3: No module named ensurepip failure.

Description
I encountered an error while trying to install Poetry using Python 3.12. The installation fails with following error message:
Install Python 3.12
Run the Poetry installation: curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_HOME=/etc/poetry python3 -
The installation fails with following error message:
` Installing Poetry...
Retrieving Poetry metadata
Welcome to Poetry!
This will download and install the latest version of Poetry,
a dependency and package manager for Python.
It will add the poetry command to Poetry's bin directory, located at:
/etc/poetry/bin
You can uninstall at any time by executing this script with the --uninstall option,
and these changes will be reverted.

Poetry installation failed. Printing error log:

Traceback:
File "", line 937, in main
File "", line 576, in run`
Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04
Python Version: 3.12.9
Poetry Version: 2.0.1
I suspect that there might be an issue with the Poetry installation script or its dependencies when running on Python 3.12.9.
Please let me know if you need any additional information or fixes available for this issue.
