I use virtualenvs for everything. Especially on unixish OSes this
usually works without problems. On windows, things are a bit different,
as sometimes you only get binary installers that insist on installing
into the base-installation.

I don't understand that. You mean the .so.X.Y.Z-thingy under *ix? That
would essentially be the pkg_resources.require-road, yes. But as it's
not widely adopted, it will cause you troubles because some packages
won't declare their dependencies properly.
