where type of problem == sandboxed environment, sure.  How do you solve the
problem for system packagers?

What's to stop a system packager either just running the buildout on install, or running the buildout at package build time and then just dropping the resulting environment wherever they want to install applications? Such a package would only be dependent on the right python version at runtime...
