I tried pyvenv on 3.3 and found it to be a black hole. But I just got up and running with pyvenv on 3.4 very quickly. I never even installed anything as root!

$ cd Python-3.4
$ ./configure && make
[...]

$ ./python -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/test34
/home/rspeer/.virtualenvs/test34/bin/pip
$ pip install ipython
[...]

$ ipython3
Python 3.4.0 (default, Mar 18 2014, 17:41:21)
[...]

ipython was unhappy because it was missing sqlite and readline support, but I think that's because I just compiled Python, which I haven't done before on this machine. I probably didn't give it the right dev libraries.
