virtualenv --system-site-packages (was: PEP 453 affects Debian packaging of Python packages)
Quoting Barry Warsaw ba...@python.org: Sounds a lot like `virtualenv --system-site-packages` right? IMHO, --system-site-packages should be the default. IIRC, it was the default in squeeze (1.4.9), but is not anymore in wheezy (1.7.1.2). Opinions? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-python-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

If y'all use virtualenvwrapper (you should), you can toggleglobalsitepackages Also, it's helpful when you're doing testing in dev setups, to make sure your requirements.txt isn't forgetting something that's installed system-wide :) +1 for keeping it isolated without global site packages (unless you need them, in which case, it should be a per-env exception) Cheers, Paul -- .''`.

I'm the exact opposite; I never use it. I only want to use system-installed packages for system-installed things (installed via .deb, of course). -- mithrandi, i Ainil en-Balandor, a faer Ambar
