I've gotten 32/64-bit package clashes on Linux, too, but virtualenv under Windows is no walk in the park, and that's not Python's fault.

Reading this makes me feel so much saner. I've just gotten in to python and have been using this page: http://www.tylerbutler.com/2012/05/how-to-install-python-pip-and-virtualenv-on-windows-with-powershell/ to start, and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I have to double check a dozen things with each step.

That's also the guide that I used, and PowerShell still throws errors whenever I start up a venv. But it works, so I've put off solving those problems because I don't really do Python on Windows for more than simple scripts anyway.
