This was one of the key bits I missed in most of the
virtualenv{,wrapper} documentation and only figured out after asking
several questions here on c.l.p  Once I had that understanding, the
usefulness of virtualenvwrapper made more sense (previously, I'd
figured it was silly since I thought the code-base was supposed to be
contained in the virtualenv, not independent from it).

Now it's virtualenv{,wrapper} for just about all development.
