Additional context
N/A
packer-aem is using an old Puppet module 'tracywebtech-pip', which attempted to install the 'virtualenv' package into Python 2 and produced the error (see screenshot below). (The module has not been improved since 2015).
Issue was caused by pip 21.0+ which from Jan 2021, no longer supports Python 2. As a result, when the puppet module attempted to install 'virtualenv' into Python 2, with pip 21.0+, it failed.
The '::python' class can be used to install the virtualenv package. As a result, the function of installing the 'virtualenv' package will be taken over by the class.
