Once we drop support for Python 2 we could start relying on venv instead of virtualenv. However, there are still a few hiccups with using venv:

• on Ubuntu 18.04 "python3 -m venv mongovenv" fails with this error:

   [2020/11/20 21:34:33.329] Finished 'shell.exec' in "run aws auth test with regular aws credentials" in 13.76142158s

• On Windows "C:/python/Python38/python.exe -m venv mongovenv" succeeds but attempting to activate the venv fails with this error:
