Comment:
I'm not initially seeing the benefit here. `nodeenv` doesn't avoid you
needing to install node/npm. It just does controls that process for you,
allowing you to install and manage multiple node versions.
The PyPI package is just a wrapper around
[https://github.com/ekalinin/nodeenv the main `nodeenv` project] right? I
can see that someone might want to use this themselves. (I use it in
fact.) But I can't see why I'd want to install this in my Python
virtualenv: it strikes me as adding a nesting where we don't need one.
(I'm sure the Zen of Python says something about that. 🙂)
Installing node is not a big issue IMO.
