No module named `poetry.core` on Py3.9.0b1

Issue

I’ve installed Py3.9.0b1 through pyenv (listed as 3.9-dev) and am attempting to use poetry. Using Poetry 1.0.5, I receive:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/joe/.poetry/bin/poetry", line 12, in <module>
    from poetry.console import main
  File "/home/joe/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .application import Application
  File "/home/joe/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/application.py", line 1, in <module>
    from cleo import Application as BaseApplication
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cleo'

…so I reinstalled from get-poetry.py asking for the preview version. This gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/joe/.poetry/bin/poetry", line 16, in <module>
    from poetry.console import main
  File "/home/joe/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>

  File "/home/joe/.poetry/lib/poetry/factory.py", line 9, in <module>
    from poetry.core.factory import Factory as BaseFactory
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'poetry.core'

…on every call to Poetry.

I experienced the same issue when upgrading from 1.0.5 using the poetry self update command.

$ poetry self update
Updating to 1.1.4
 - Downloading poetry-1.1.4-linux.tar.gz 100%

Poetry (1.1.4) is installed now. Great!

$ poetry --help     
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from poetry.console import main
  File "/home/wesley/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/__init__.py", line 1, in <module>
    from .application import Application
  File "/home/wesley/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/application.py", line 7, in <module>

    from .init import InitCommand
  File "/home/wesley/.poetry/lib/poetry/console/commands/init.py", line 16, in <module>
    from poetry.core.pyproject import PyProjectException
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'poetry.core'

what solved it for me was:

$ pip install -U poetry

Please try using pipx to install poetry. Honestly, I just don’t understand why everyone tries to use weird scripts rather than bog standard tools.
