Hi, Here is a new port devel/py-virtualenv.
virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments.
The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and
versions, and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application
that needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires
version 2. How can you use both these applications? If you install
everything into /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages (or whatever your
platform's standard location is), it's easy to end up in a situation
where you unintentionally upgrade an application that shouldn't be
upgraded.
Or more generally, what if you want to install an application and
leave it be? If an application works, any change in its libraries or
the versions of those libraries can break the application.
Also, what if you can't install packages into the global
site-packages directory? For instance, on a shared host.
Tested on Loongson OK.
