I'm glad you're trying out pip! Any particular reason not to use the
built-in "activate" command?

I also didn't mention in my presentation (since I was kind of rushing)
but Doug Hellman (who writes the excellent "Python Module of the Week"
series) wrote a shell script tool to manage many virtual envs. See
