I prefer the implicit bootstrap approach, but if the explicit bootstrap approach is chosen then something special needs to be done for pyvenv.
The original pyvenv script did install Distribute and pip, but that functionality was removed before beta because Distribute and pip are third-party packages. If that restriction is lifted, we can easily replace the pyvenv script in Python with pyvenvex, and then (as I understand it) that is equivalent to an implicit bootstrap. Regards, Vinay Sajip
