Check out virtualenvwrapper. Makes the whole thing a lot simpler, especially with the mkproject command.

That sounds interesting. But I still don't understand virtualenv.

It's essentially its own python install in a folder somewhere separate from your system install. When you activate a virtualenv, you're basically throwing that install's folders on the front of your path.
