Can't install whisper using kdenlive's interface. Unable to create python virtual environment (Kdenlive Whisper OpenAI speech to text )

This is already solved. Just leaving it here for anyone else who has the problem while Whisper is being installed in a venv via Kdenlive.

You’ll get this error code if the virtualenv package isn’t installed:

Cannot find python virtualenv, please install it on your system. Defaulting to system python.

Kdenlive can auto install python modules to enhance the program. One of those is speech-to-text. To do so you need to have the package: python311-virtualenv installed.

For future reference, use the correct version for your current system:
python{version}-virtualenv

Check your python version using this:

txtechnician@txtechnician-hp-suse:~> python3 --version
Python 3.11.10
txtechnician@txtechnician-hp-suse:~> 

After you install this package you’ll be able to use kdenlive’s interface to install missing python dependencies.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

The solution is in the question.

Install the system package: python3{version#}-virtualenv
