Interesting. Is this an alternative to virtualenv?

My overall impression of this area is that there are a zillion
alternatives
(Well ok exaggeration -- more alternatives than needed)
And all of them fail on some essential aspects.

Yesterday I was trying to setup python on a client site and
easy_install kept giving errors. Not easy_install printing errors but
python printing backtraces.

After repeatedly trying it a few times the errors disappeared.
