Ah, on that front, some good news if they're running linux/OSX. A one- liner will download a bootstrap script, make a new virtualenv, and setup Pylons inside it: Where mydevenv is the name of the virtualenv. I actually like this approach so much, I use it whenever deploying a Pylons app to first setup Pylons in a new virtualenv. Note that the installation docs document this: Note if you take a look inside the go-pylons script, there's a section where you can declare commands to run in the new virtualenv, so you could further customize the bootstrap script to get your own Pylons app, install its dependencies, etc.
