Virtualenv 20.0.0 beta1 is available

Hello! First off, I would like to thank you for the excellent work you’ve done here. It’s so fast now! At Datadog we’re going to start using this for all our Agent integration test suites https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/pull/5617. I triggered a build of all 120+ of our Agent integrations and tox seems happy across the board.

An interesting thing occurred though, see https://github.com/DataDog/integrations-core/pull/5618. Basically, for the CI (mostly Ubuntu 16.04) in our style tox env (Python 3.7) isort only now correctly identifies _strptime as being part of the standard library. I confirmed this on Windows too.

Does anyone know why that might be?

Beforehand we copied some modules from the system standard library that helped us boostrap the site.py invocation. A side effect of this was that now those modules prefix was a path within the virtual environment, which is different than other standard library modules that lived. With the rewrite this now has been fixed.

Released today beta 2, see https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/20.0.0b2/changes.html#v20-0-0b2-2020-02-04 for details of changes. Next week we’ll release 20.0.0, so make sure to give feedback if you can. Also now the zipapp is published under https://github.com/pypa/get-virtualenv

Relased 20.0.0 as https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog.html#v20-0-0-2020-02-10

Thanks everyone for the feedback during the open beta period.
