New issue 108: tox should explicitly provide python executable when creating virtualenvs
https://bitbucket.org/hpk42/tox/issue/108/tox-should-explicitly-provide-python

anthon_van_der_neut:

tox should not rely on "/path_to/pythonX.Y /path1_to/virtualenv.py pyXY" to create a virtualenv with pyXY/bin/python to be of version X.Y.*. 
If you have specified a default python version for virtualenv, .e.g in the [config](http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/#environment-variables-and-configuration-files), the version specified there will of course be taken.
tox should use /path_to/pythonX.Y /path1_to/virtualenv.py --python /path_to/pythonX.Y pyXY 
The worse part is that if the default environment runs the test correctly, you really have to look carefully at the **beginning** of the output to see what test run passed.
