Description
Issue
Prior to virtualenv version 20, eg 16.7.10, virtualenv installs python-config in the virtualenv's bin directory. Since version 20 this no longer happens.
$ pip3 install --user virtualenv\<20
$ ~/.local/bin/virtualenv --version
16.7.10
$ ~/.local/bin/virtualenv venv-16
$ ls venv-16/bin/
activate activate.fish activate_this.py easy_install pip pip3.8 python3 python-config
activate.csh activate.ps1 activate.xsh easy_install-3.8 pip3 python python3.8 wheel
$ pip3 install --user --upgrade virtualenv
