My opinion is that this tool exists only because Python doesn't
support the installation of multiple versions for the same
distributions.
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.
This is exactly why I use virtualenv as well. I don't recall ever having
wanted / needed to install multiple versions of the same library -
whilst I can appreciate that it *can* be a real issue it has never been
a problem for me.
