It was actually created to help people who don't have root access (e.g. in shared web hosting accounts) get their "own" Python. It does work for other things, but I haven't been especially recommending it for anything besides that, since eggs take care of multi-version app/library support quite nicely. Indeeed, the virtual-python approach is itself unnecessary now, as easy_install has much better PYTHONPATH support now, than when virtual-python was created. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
