This is not at all how I use virtualenv. For me virtualenv is a sandbox so that I don't have to become root whenever I need to install a Python package for testing purposes and to allow me to hop between sets of installed Python packages while developing on multiple Python projects. I also use it as a sandbox for build bots so that multiple bots on the same machine can each build their own projects with just the known dependencies installed.
