Research direction

Start in pyperformance/cli.py around _main() line 371 and compare the installed command with the dev.py venv path. Reproduce both commands and trace how the venv arguments are parsed before _pythoninfo.get_info() is called. Done means the venv command no longer raises the shown AttributeError and reports a useful failure or performs its intended action.
