Quick aside, I'm glad the next version of virtualenv (1.7) wont install site-packages by default, so you won't need the --no-site-packages flag anymore. In fact, you'll need the --use-site-packages flag if you want all the installed packages for your python dist.

Quite the welcome change (at least for me).

As a further aside, there's a recent PEP that proposes to incorporate the concept of virtual environments into Python itself:
