Hi William, I am not able to reproduce the error you are facing with virtualenv and it seems network related. Also consider using venv[0] in favour of virtualenv. [0] https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/venv.html
The difference is that virtualenv downloads pip and its dependencies from PyPI (so it's vulnerable to network issues), while venv installs bundled (or, in Fedora's case, system-installed) copies of these that are already available locally.
pyenv works fine, thanks
