No. What you will find is that virtualenv will pick up whatever python it finds 
and package it in a new self-contained area. At that point you will have full 
control over what additional things get installed. But it needs a python 
installation somewhere else to get started.

If you have put a bunch of packages into your native python installation and 
are not sure what you have, you may want to re-install just to get a clean 
basic installation. But I haven't had to do that and would not bother unless 
you see other issues.
