That takes almost three minutes to get to where I can type
roundup-demo on my dev system (yeah yeah I know get a better
system). That's not exactly instant.

Also I am planning on adding validation directions to
installation.txt. Download the source tarball and the signature from
pypi. Verify the tarball using gpg.

AFAIK pip can't/doesn't validate the stuff it downloads right?

While I probably should use venv I have used it barely a handfull of
times. Is that what the cool pythonista's are using these days?
