Over in distutils-sig there's been extensive discussion at and since
PyCon of a built-in Python virtual-environment tool, similar to
virtualenv, targeted hopefully for 3.3. This is something that's seen
some discussion on python-dev previously; I now have a working prototype
and am working on a PEP. When the PEP is ready I'll bring it up for
discussion on python-ideas and then python-dev; anyone interested in
checking it out sooner can go read the discussions at distutils-sig.
