Hello,

I had exactly the same problem here and gave up recently. Looking again
into this I found the missing file in package python312-virtualenv via
"cygcheck -p pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl".

After installing the package python312-virtualenv, the missing file is
not at the expected location. 

So with a new directory /usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/ and a symbolic link
/usr/lib/python3.12/ensurepip/_bundled/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl -> /usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/virtualenv/seed/wheels/embed/pip-25.0.1-py3-none-any.whl
"python3.12 -m ensurepip" worked for me. 

I'm aware you are not asking for a workaround, so concerning your question I
guess this is a glitch in a cygwin package or maybe upstream.

Finally I am considering my cygwin transition from python3.9 to python3.12
because "python3.12 -m venv venv" also succeeds now.

Regards,
Harald
