@brettcannon I’m all for ragging @simon for the problems he causes (love you mate!) but isn’t this same thing that virtualenvwrapper and Conda both require? i.e., venvs are stored in a separate directory that isn’t in my project folder?
(For the record, when I read that part of the PEP, I yelled “hell yeah”. My venvs often span multiple projects; a redirect file is an awesome solution)

@freakboy3742 @simon Yes, although Simon was the first to phrase this as not being about personal preference as much as a technical issue with his setup. Before then it was all "I don't want to mix caches with my code" and such and it came down to personal preference.
