https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pipsi (pip Script Installer) creates a
dedicated venv for the module and its dependencies, and then adds symlinks
from ~/.local/bin to any scripts installed into the venv's bin directory.
As Armin notes in the README, it's a really nice way to handle utilities
that happen to be written in Python and published via PyPI, without having
them impact any other aspect of your system.

Cheers,
Nick.
