[needs-packaging] virtualenvwrapper

[Dag Odenhall]

Extensions to Python's virtualenv that makes it easier to create and switch between virtualenvironments.

License: Looks like MIT/X11
Notes: Optimally, installing the package would set up bash as well: http://www.doughellmann.com/docs/virtualenvwrapper/#shell-startup-file. It should probably depend on python-virtualenv (which could use an update, see Bug #485944).

Too exotic.

It is rather for developers which should now how to compile anyway :)

[Dag Odenhall (dag.odenhall)]

Had a feeling GetDeb wouldn't be interested, but you do have a programming section so I took a chance. I guess you mostly do GUI applications, though. :)

[Christoph Korn (c-korn)]

This is correct.

Thanks for reporting.
