Subject: [PATCH] Fix Makefile to use python3 for venv creation and pip
 installation

- Replaced 'python' with 'python3' for better compatibility on Arch-based systems
- Added ensurepip call to guarantee pip availability inside virtual environment
- Improved venv creation logic and ensured setuptools/wheel upgrade
- Fixed potential 'pip not found' (Error 127) issue during installation
