Hmmmm ... you're right. But making Tox not use virtualenvs is not impossible - much alike to how Detox is working, we could have a "Tax" (just made that up) that just skips making any virtualenv. It's a matter of making two subclasses and a console_scripts entrypoint (I think). I think it's a good name: ``use Tax instead of Tox if you wanna "tax" your global site-packages`` :-) We only need someone to do it. Thanks, -- Ionel Cristian Mărieș, http://blog.ionelmc.ro
