I love Python for many other reasons, but how they still haven't managed to fix local vs user vs system libraries, when pretty much every other language has, and think virtualenv is an acceptable solution, is beyond me. Of course, since they have many geniuses working on their codebase, I assume the problem must actually be pretty fundamental and tricky.... right?
