* I'd rather ~/env/bin/python be a symlink instead of copying it. How about simply adding a --prefix argument to the interpreter. Then virtualenv can create a "python" script that simply adds --prefix and forwards all the arguments to the real python executable. Or am I missing something?

It couldn't be a shell script, as they wouldn't work as shebang line interpreters for other python scripts.
