This is discussed on https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/88

I noticed that the original Sage bug report requested that no-user-cfg be 
supported in the global distutils config file; this is more acceptable than 
adding an environment variable.  I’m not sure it would solve your problem 
though, which looks more educational than technical (i.e. people may forget to 
use an option on the command line or in the config file, so adding support for 
an option in the config file may not help).  Do you think it would be a useful 
feature anyway?

Anyway, don’t forget that distutils is closed to feature requests, and this 
would only land in distutils2 (included in Python 3.3 and released on PyPI for 
older versions), so I suspect a fix here would take years to be of benefit to 
your community.  I’m sorry about this situation, and I do hope a fix in 
virtualenv (which has a faster release cycle and don’t require you to change 
code in the distributed projects) will solve your problem in a near future.
