[TIP] Virtualenv bug breaking tox runs

[Randy Syring]

I'm trying to use tox from python2 to test a python3 environment. But I 
get an exception like the following:

> rsyring at loftex:~/projects/blaze/blazeutils-src$ python -m virtualenv 
> --python python3 ~/tmp/testvenv
> Running virtualenv with interpreter /home/rsyring/bin/python3

There is a bug for this in virtualenv:

     https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/625

So, I realize I could use `python3 -m virtualenv` if I was running the 
command myself.  But, tox is making the call to virtualenv.

This was working the last time I tested it but has now broken.  I'm 
guessing that is because I upgraded tox or virtualenv?

Any pointers welcome as to the best way to resolve this issue now?

Thanks in advance.
