I returned to the virtualenv instructions today. I don't understand step
4:

http://pyblosxom.bluesock.org/1.5/notes/INSTALL.html#installing-pyblosxom-to-hack-on-it

which says: `easy_install paste_deploy` or `pip install paste_deploy`.
How are either of those commands going to know that I mean to install
into the virtual environment that I've just created? Surely there is an
instruction missing? I cd'd into the bin/ dir in my virtual environment
and saw that it contains easy_install and pip executables so I tried
executing the commands using those executables, but they don't seem to
think that "paste_deploy" exists:

seanh@kisimul:.../foo/VEDIR/bin % ./easy_install paste_deploy

Also, the note at the top of the Installing PyBlosxom page in the docs
says "If you’re testing PyBlosxom, use virtualenv and deploy with Paste"
but instructions to do so do not follow. They are further down the page,
and with a different title "Installing PyBlosxom to hack on it". The
note at the top of the page does not lead the reader to this subsection.
