[Distutils] repeatable and updatable virtualenv

[a.cavallo at cavallinux.eu]

Hi,
there's my little project running on the opensuse build server.

Actually it builds the latest subversion of python under the opt tree using the best 
practices in the field (nearly hands-off approach, integrating unit testing, repeatable etc).

http://pyvm.sourceforge.net

You can get an account and build the modules linking to these builds (automatically and overnight).

Regards,
Antonio Cavallo
