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?
