I use distribution packages (Debian in my case) as far as it's possible and use virtualenv (without --no-site-packages) for the rest (tg2 uses a lot of stuff that is not in Debian, or not new enough.) I also put the whole virtualenv in a hg repository, because I don't know egg enough to trust it, so if I botch the easy_install stuff I can always roll back to an earlier state. I've been quite happy with that approach so far. I feel distro packages are better than locally installing modules in a virtualenv, but using virtualenv is still much better than what /usr/local would look like 2 or 3 years... cheers -- vbi -- featured product: the GNU Compiler Collection - http://gcc.gnu.org
