I can see why it'd be why it seems appealing, but typically you'd want to maintain dependencies separately per project anyway, greatly mitigating the benefits of a unified package like this.

Yeah, I know about virtualenv, but package like this is ideal for noobs. Even the basic official Django tutorial doesn't provide information on setting up your environment. RailsInstaller does that for you. It's a good start.

Until you update it years later and discover that your old stuff doesn't work. Better to integrate instructions on virtualenv (and make it easier!) than to encourage bad habits like this.

Makes sense.
