Looks like you have a venv there already
only because I tried to install home assistant and it failed
Not much more I can suggest to be honest. If that folder was empty before you ran pip then there’s no obvious issue in what you posted.
I will once again delete that VM and build yet another one and trying again
Thanks for responding I will post what I find if I muck my way through this issue
I was afraid of that answer 
In any case users should follow the best practice:
- never update a stable running system when its ok for your needs
- if developers urge you to do so alway keep a copy of your previous install
For now I am still tempted always to download the latest HA version until, maybe, my mysterious iPad bug Cannot load Web Frontend on one iPad
is resolved. Installing a new python version is a piece of cake compared to that
that is the advantage of running VM I can update a whole new machine without messing with my production machine until I am confident that it will work as intended
still the same error
homeassistant@raspberry:/srv/homeassistant $ python3.9 -m venv .
Error: Command ‘[’/srv/homeassistant/bin/python3.9’, ‘-Im’, ‘ensurepip’, ‘–upgrade’, ‘–default-pip’]’ returned non-zero exit status 1.

ok after mucking around in this whole thing it is apparently not a good idea changing the default of the python to the newer version when installing python3.8/3.9 Home assistant straight up does not like that it will not build the bin folder because it locks itself out of that the home assistant folder
but, why not?
Why would it?
Seriously, Docker is just another piece of software. It’s a way of running other software, but it’s just a piece of software. Why would using it for one thing then force you to run everything else with it?
built a copy and paste tutorial to install Python 3.9 that allows Home Assistant to install
This is intended for a Bare metal reinstall of your OS
Home Assistant Friendly Python 3.9
and if you used this tutorial to build your Home Assistant then it is real easy to copy all the Home Assistant files to another location and re paste them once you redo your Home Assistant with 3.9
nice and clean
Installing Home Assistant with File Sharing
It’s a container.
Once you go through the trouble of installing, configuring, monitoring and tuning a stack, it’s painless to adding additional containers.

I am using HA with Python 3.9 and one a week I have problem like this:

Is it cased by Python 3.9?
Good and simple procedure. Still having problem with mobile_app (Integration)
after upgrade . Do you know something about it ?
I use this guide for install in python 3.8.5 and work fine, and realy easy
Mi HA only stop for 1 minute

Thank you @igorlemos, just used this guide to update to python 3.9.0 on Raspberry Pi OS, as Python 3.7.3 was too old for homeassistant to run on, it seems to be working.
I’ve heard that using ./configure --enable-optimizations instead of ./configure results in Python running a little faster at the expense of a longer build time, but I’m not really sure if the difference will be noticeable on something like homeassistant
Thanks!!! With your steps i made the upgrade without any problem!
When I install python 3.9 i have some problems , my raspberry version Buster have not libffi.7
And I received this error:
libffi.so.7:
cannot open shared object file:
No such file or directory
And other error with numpy like this:
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!
Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.
We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:
https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html
Please note and check the following:
* The Python version is: Python3.9 from "/srv/homeassistant_venv_3.9.9/bin/python3.9"
* The NumPy version is: "1.21.2"
and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.
Original error was: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found (required by /srv/homeassistant_venv_3.9.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/numpy/core/_multiarray_umath.cpython-39-arm-linux-gnueabihf.so)
For solved it i use this post:
I think the definitive solution is install raspbian bullseye 11 in my RaspPi.
¿Someone has done it and it works for them?
now HA need python 3.9 in 2022.1 version
