**Notes**
This release uses python-3's native `venv` module to perform the rez installation, for python-3.7 and above.
For earlier python versions, an embedded copy of virtualenv was used, but this ceases to work correctly in
python-3.9.
**Merged pull requests:**
- venv based install [\1006](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/pull/1006) ([nerdvegas](https://github.com/nerdvegas))
**Closed issues:**
- Installation With Python >=3.9 Fails ('HTMLParser' object has no attribute 'unescape') [\980](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/issues/980)
- have install.py use venv in python3 [\982](https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/rez/issues/982)
