But what will be the added CO2 footprint of launching so many unnecessary shells!

Also, I don't like the prospect of having to hit Ctrl-D twice to logout.

The shells are actually fairly easy to recycle responsibly, it's fork()s I'm worried about.

Then type 'exec inve' instead of just 'inve.'
Perhaps that makes sense. Actually I usually type 'workon myproject' (using virtualenvwrapper, because it provides a nice standard location and activation command for virtualenvs), so maybe this could all be transparent.
