Armin Ronacher just published a new utility for creating prebuilt virtualenv tarballs called "platter": http://platter.pocoo.org/dev/
As he notes, it means you don't even need pip on your production systems. >From the looks of it, it would also be well suited as a foundation of the "venv in a native package" model where you use apt or RPM to do the deployment, deployment to a user-space-tools-only PaaS environment and container image builds. I haven't used it myself yet, but I'm going to start looking into it for use with Kallithea. Cheers, Nick.
