This is on a fresh install of the 20.04 beta that was released on April 12. I used the Desktop installer, into a VMware Fusion VM, on amd64.

Other than the defaults for a fresh Ubuntu Desktop install, all I ran was `apt install -y docker.io python3-docker`.

I ran `python3`, tried to execute `import docker`, and got this:
