I understand it would be a hassle. :/ But please consider it relative
to the additional difficulty of rewriting all of webkitpy to support
multiple versions of python at the same time, or setting up a wrapper
layer of bash scripts around all of our python scripts to enter a
virtualenv before executing the real script.
