You would have two different directories each with a different .pth file
in it and point PYTHONUSERBASE at the correct one for the virtual
environment you want to use.

PYTHONUSERBASE would still be the switching point - including a .pth
file just lets you extend a given value for PYTHONUSERBASE to mean more
than one directory.

Cheers,
Nick.
