On behalf of the entire Python development community, and the currently serving
Python release team in particular, I’m pleased to announce the release of
Python 3.9.0b1. Get it here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390b1/
<https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390b1/>
This is a beta preview of Python 3.9
Python 3.9 is still in development. This release, 3.9.0b1, is the first of four
planned beta release previews.
Beta release previews are intended to give the wider community the opportunity
to test new features and bug fixes and to prepare their projects to support the
new feature release.
Call to action

I built python3.9.0b1 from source using the standard configure make dance eg
./configure --prefix=$HOME/LOCAL/3.9b1
make && make install
that appeared to work fine and I seem to get a working python. However, I seem
to have an issue with the distutils package
robin@minikat:~/devel/reportlab
$ $HOME/LOCAL/3.9b1/bin/python3.9
Python 3.9.0b1 (default, May 19 2020, 12:50:30)
[GCC 10.1.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import distutils
/home/robin/LOCAL/3.9b1/lib/python3.9/distutils/__init__.py:15: UserWarning:
The virtualenv distutils package at %s appears to be in the same location as
the system distutils?
warnings.warn("The virtualenv distutils package at %s appears to be in the same

distutils.__path__
['/home/robin/LOCAL/3.9b1/lib/python3.9/distutils']
distutils.__file__
'/home/robin/LOCAL/3.9b1/lib/python3.9/distutils/__init__.py'
is this a bug or have I built python 3.9.0b1 wrongly?
