Just a note that [1] has merged and new images should start appearing
soon.

Just to re-iterate; if virtualenv goes missing, you probabaly just
want to use the "ensure-virtualenv" role.  However, in the Python 3
world, you should probably consider if you actually *need* virtualenv
or can use "venv" which comes with Python 3.  The "ensure-pip" role
exports "ensure_pip_virtualenv_command" which you can use with the
"pip:" role from Ansible.  An example is [1].  If you don't need the
full virtualenv experience, longer term it's one less thing likely to
break in your tests.

Please pop into #opendev or reply mail and we can work through any
issues.
