Ubuntu 20.04 "virtualenv -p python3 ." command not working

Question

After upgrading to ubuntu 20.04 virtualenv -p python3 . not working. I shows error

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/mahmud/.local/bin/virtualenv", line 6, in <module>
    from virtualenv.__main__ import run_with_catch
  File "/home/mahmud/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv/__init__.py", line 3, in <module>

    import six
ImportError: No module named six

It seems that It work fine if I use /usr/bin/virtualenv p python3 . instead of virtualenv -p python3 . I have everything upgraded pip3 is 20.1 and virtualenv==20.0.20 also six==1.14.0
is there any way to use virtualenv instead of /usr/bin/virtualenv?

Try installing six:

pip install six

or if you already have it:

pip uninstall six
pip install six
