Alright, I know the project uses it, but this particular detail is
completely ignored in their documentation, and I hadn't read it's
documentation yet. It looks like I can use the system Python to run my
scripts, avoiding my problems all together:
http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#using-virtualenv-without-bin-python
So, if I end up using this particular idiom, I'll need to make sure that
each entry point activates the environment, and provide a setup script
for my users to update the path for their particular virtual
environment. I'm happy that my users can simply use their system Python
now (cleaner), but it means more work for me. Umm. Yay.
Thanks Igor. Sometimes a kick in the pants to RTFM is what one needs.
Cheers,
Kevin
