I am not a big time developer but just a guy to likes to tinker with python. Most of the python scripts I write are for myself. And lately, I started reading up on virtualenv.

So I get the wroking on various projects inside a virtualenv is a good thing. Namely code and package isolation. Installing a module in one virtualenv has no affect on another virtualenv. What I don't get is that after a while you have a whole bunch of projects on the go, but, the only way to run them in in a virtual environment. Dosen't that get in the way? Dosen't it become a pain to start a virutalenv everytime you want to run a script or am I missing something?

How do you run your python scripts outside of the virtualenv?
