Virtualenv is pretty simple! Instead of installing packages to a system-wide folder, it places them locally and tells python to search that folder instead of the system's one:

    $ virtualenv .

    $ source bin/activate

    $ pip install pkg1 pkg2 ...

    $ python run_program...

The underlying implementation has changed a bit over the years, but from a user's point of view, it's been extremely easy to work with.
