Well, I read http://www.buildout.org/en/latest/docs/tutorial.html but nowhere there was virtualenv mentioned. I guess this might be due to the fact virtualenv didn't even exist in 2007 or was not popular? :) I somehow had an impression that one of the main features of buildout has always been isolation from system Python thus I did not even thought about running it inside virtualenv. However, looking now for "virtualenv" at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout/2.2.1 brought the following bullet from version 2.0.0: "Buildout no-longer tries to provide full or partial isolation from system Python installations. If you want isolation, use buildout with virtualenv, or use a clean build of Python to begin with." which is quite clear. Btw, what's the reason documentation at http://www.buildout.org/en/latest/docs/index.html is for ancient version 1.2.1?
