------------------

The Python2 virtual environment module.  The super-build will
create a virtualenv to install and use needed Python modules.

\*
  If using :program:`pkg`, install ``py27-virtualenv``.
†
  Do not confuse with the ``virtualenv`` package, which is the
  :program:`virtualenv` command, not the Python module, and will not
  be sufficient.
‡
  Run ``/usr/local/bin/python2 -m pip install virtualenv``.

Use ``pip install virtualenv`` if a packaged version is not
available, or if you want a current version.
