[Grok-dev] Virtualenv the way to go

[Sebastian Ware]

After experiencing some version conflict galore (most probably of my  
own making...) and having it so elegantly solved (it would seem  
anyway) by virtualenv I would like to suggest that this becomes the  
recomended setup for evaluation and development. There is howto here:

Also, I think one should point out that easy_install can be forced to  
use a specific version of python by calling: easy_install-2.4 or  
easy_install-2.5. I think my problems started when I did an easy  
install of grokproject and it used python 2.5. Suddenly stuff was  
spread all over the place and it has taken me a while to realise what  
has been going on.
