Pants

<@UB2J9BQA0> when i install pants via the setup instructions at <https://www.pantsbuild.org/install.html>, everything works great. however, when i run `./pants generate-pants-ini`, i see pants bootstrapping the venv, resulting in: ```
New virtual environment successfully created at /home/cosmicexplorer/.cache/pants/setup/bootstrap-Linux-x86_64/unspecified_py36.
Adding sensible defaults to /home/cosmicexplorer/projects/active/funnel/pants.ini:
* Pinning `pants_version` to `1.15.0`.

You may modify these values directly in the file at any time. The ./pants script will detect any changes the next time you run it.

You are now ready to use Pants!
```

after that, when i run `./pants -V`, pants actually bootstraps again from scratch (although it's faster the second time), ending with: ```
New virtual environment successfully created at /home/cosmicexplorer/.cache/pants/setup/bootstrap-Linux-x86_64/1.15.0_py36.
1.15.0
```

the difference between the two runs seems to be when it creates the venv in `.../unspecified_py36` vs `.../1.15.0_py36`. is this double bootstrapping a known issue with the setup script? can it be avoided?
