I'm starting to get hooked on virtualenv (to be found on  
pypi.python.org). This allows you to have seperate python trees based  
on a single installation. You can, but don't have to, share the global  
site-packages directory and every install has its own site-packages as  
well.

This is very convenient when working on several projects, every one  
can have its own tree without having to install python several times.
