included?

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 The OONI install instructions include doing pip installs of all sorts of
 things. It suggests using python-virtualenv to generate a space where it
 can pip-install stuff without actually needing root. Those instructions
 failed for me on Debian wheezy (#7995).

 I wonder if more people would be able to try out ooni if we just had a
 tarball, with all the non-debian-packaged python things in it, and a start
 script that knew how to set the various env vars so that it can find the
 included python stuff?

 This could be a stop-gap measure until we have all of the required python
 components packaged as debs.
