Comment 4 for bug 1421230

Cory,

Creating a Python virtualenv is an option, but historically we've had issues getting netaddr and netifaces to install successfully in an virtualenv due to compilation issues, which may hinge on dependencies which would need to be apt-get installed anyway. However, it may be worth investigating, as I agree that requiring sudo power for the test setup is less than ideal.

One thing that I definitely would recommend, though, is splitting the `apt-get install` portion into its own make target, so that it can at least be run with sudo separately from the tests themselves.
