virtualenv 的作用相当于 Sandbox，它通过隔离包目录和系统环境参数来实现多个相对独立的虚拟环境。如此可避免过多的第三方库因版本依赖造成问题。同时每个独立的虚拟环境只需通过打包即可分发，也大大方便了系统部署。
$ sudo easy_install virtualenv

现在我们可以创建虚拟环境了。
$ virtualenv test1

New python executable in test1/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.

我们可以看到虚拟目录下已经被安装了基本所需的运行环境。
$ ls test1/bin
activate  activate_this.py  easy_install  easy_install-2.6  pip  python

$ ls test1/include/
python2.6

$ ls test1/lib

copy_reg.py  lib-dynload      os.py            site.pyc       sre.pyc            warnings.pyc

进入 test1 目录，激活虚拟环境。
$ cd test1

test1$ source bin/activate

(test)test1$ which python
/home/yuhen/projects/test1/bin/python

(test)test1$ which easy_install
/home/yuhen/projects/test1/bin/easy_install

(test1)test1$ python

可以看到使用 "souce bin/active" 激活以后，命令提示行多了一个 "(test1)" 前缀，同时 python 和 easy_install 默认会使用虚拟环境 bin 目录下的程序。sys.path 显示当前虚拟环境的库目录被添加到搜索路径列表中。
(test1)$ easy_install MySQL-python

MySQL-python 被安装到了虚拟环境中，且 easy-install.pth 中正确添加了 egg 搜索路径。

最后我们可以用 "deactivate" 命令退出虚拟环境。
(test1)test1$ deactivate

在创建虚拟环境时，我们可以添加 "--no-site-packages" 参数指示虚拟环境不要访问 global site-packages。
$ virtualenv --no-site-packages test2
New python executable in test2/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.

$ cd test2

test2$ source bin/activate
