This doesn't work currently (at least in my limited testing). python3-pip
doesn't install into the right location in a venv.

We'll have to do some work on rewheel to make it work recursively (e.g. all
the bundles that the bundles) and then package it up in PyPI and then the
archive. But I think this is the right long term solution.
