If virtualenv was bundled as a build prerequisite in MozillaBuild

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites

and the debian/ubuntu package

https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Linux_Prerequisites#Debian.2FUbuntu

then ability to create virtualenvs for the objdir could be done easily (bug 661908)

What are the steps for installing virtualenv? Is it something we can install from an egg? If so, adding this to MozillaBuild should be trivial. We already install setuptools via egg:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-build/file/tip/packageit.py#l126
Component: Build Config → MozillaBuild
Product: Core → mozilla.org
QA Contact: build-config → mozillabuild
Version: unspecified → other

There is a tarball at http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv; it would be trivial to create an egg from this

We now have virtualenv in mozilla-central so this bug is no longer applicable
