I tried to create a new virtual environment using virtualenv and the newly released Python3.9 version and I got a runtime error saying " failed to find interpreter for Builtin discover of python_spec='python3.9'".

3.9 is no longer maintained. If you are having problems with a current version (>= 3.10) please create a new issue.

The reason this issue never received a reply is probably because there isn't enough information here to even begin to investigate the problem. In the future try giving more information - what steps you took to install it, what system you are running on, any info on the environment, etc.
