Frankly `pipsi´ does almost the right thing; if `sudo pipsi´ put script symlinks in /usr/local/bin/ instead of ~/.local/bin/ and put venvs into /usr/local/lib/pipsi/<envname>/ instead of ~/.local/venvs/<envname>, it would be almost exactly the right thing.

I filed an issue here - https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pipsi/issues/69 - so we can continue discussion of this specific solution in a more appropriate forum.
