Virtualenv allows you to create an isolated environment to install some distribution without polluting the main site-packages, a bit like a user site-packages. ...as does buildout, and these are the right type of solution to this problem. where type of problem == sandboxed environment, sure. How do you solve the problem for system packagers?
What's to stop a system packager either just running the buildout on install, or running the buildout at package build time and then just dropping the resulting environment wherever they want to install applications? Such a package would only be dependent on the right python version at runtime...
cheers,
