[Python-Dev] Status of the built-in virtualenv functionality in 3.3 (original) (raw)

Hi,

I started to play with virtualenv recently and wondered about the status of the similar feature in 3.3 (cpythonv). The last thread mentioned two bugs; one has been fixed since.

Apart from the implicit vs. explicit download of distribute, are there design issues to discuss? Can we do that with a patch on a bug report?

Oh, let’s not forget naming. We can’t reuse the module name virtualenv as it would shadow the third-party module name, and I’m not fond of “virtualize”: it brings OS-level virtualization to my mind, not isolated Python environments.

Cheers
