What is the current behavior?

Describe the feature
We build a custom Python interpreter into an artifact, which is downloaded at build time. To get rules_py
to work, I had to update our interpreter build script to run bin/python -m ensurepip
so that the pip
package was installed at lib/python3.8/site-packages
in the tarball. Otherwise, the rules_py
virtualenv stuff fails miserably.
Please document any assumptions about the Python interpreter.
