You do know that the 'activate' bit pollutes your shell environment,
right? I use virtualenv daily, with dozens of them on my system at any
one time, and *never* use activate.

He doesn't namespace his pacakge, which means that his module names
clash. E.g.::
$ /opt/Python-2.6.5/bin/virtualenv --no-site-packages /tmp/PIL-bare
New python executable in /tmp/PIL-bare/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
$ /tmp/PIL-bare/bin/python
>>> import PIL
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named PIL
>>> import Image
>>> Image.__file__
'/tmp/PIL-bare/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL-1.1.7-py2.6...'
The repackagd versions put his modules in a PIL namespace:
$ /opt/Python-2.6.5/bin/virtualenv --no-site-packages /tmp/PIL-ns
New python executable in /tmp/PIL-ns/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
$ /tmp/PIL-ns/bin/easy_install \
-i http://dist.repoze.org/legacy/simple PIL
...
Finished processing dependencies for PIL
$ /tmp/PIL-ns/bin/python
,,,
>>> import Image
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named Image
>>> import PIL
>>> PIL.__file__
'/tmp/PIL-ns/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PIL-1.1.6-py2.6...'
>>> import PIL.Image

Easy or not doesn't matter: he flat refuses.
