PEP 582 is in the works to make __pypackages__ the Python equivalent of node_modules. Not sure if it will get accepted but I hope it does. > a mechanism to automatically recognize a __pypackages__ directory and prefer importing packages installed in this location over user or global site-packages. This will avoid the steps to create, activate or deactivate "virtual environments". https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0582/ |

The speed of simply extracting a bunch of wheels directly in to `__pypackages__/$PYVER/lib/` is a huge benefit. It behaves well if you symlink from a global tree of extracted packages too, like an even simpler version of pundler¹.
If others want to play with it without too much breakage, I massaged the patch on to 3.7². The 3.8 base was a little too big a change for my liking ;)

Edit: It’s a third of a second to stand up a complete environment with 63 wheels in its dependency tree for the project I'm playing with right now.
