yes and no. You use virtualenv to have different applications see different sets of applications to that you can test a module without affecting other app. The way web2py is installed, it will never break anything else you have installed and web2py apps will not interfere with each other. You may still want to use virtualenv in case you need to install additional modules to make them available to web2py but not to other non-web2py apps.
