I recently started using a workstation with 16G ram, which gives me the luxury of working with VirtualBox virtual machines without slowing my machine to a crawl. Using VirtualBox is dead simple. This morning I was able to isolate some buildout / setuptools stuff by cloning the basic VM, installing packages in different ways, each time on a squeaky clean VM. I heartily recommend VMs for investigating dependency hell, as well as enforcing the proper discipline required for "configuration as code" - working in an environment which is described in code as apposed to the result of lots of trial and error.
