I installed Python 3.7.0 from source inside /opt/python-3.7.0 (make install as root).

Then I created a virtual environment for a package and tried to develop the package.
Python 3.7.0 tries to create a file

/opt/python-3.7.0/lib/python3.7/lib2to3/Grammar3.7.0.final.0.pickle

which fails obviously because the installation directory is owned by root and is not writable for an normal user account

(my-3.7) ajung@dev ~/src/zopyx.txng3.ext (master) $ /opt/python-3.7.0/bin/python3 -m venv .
