What if you don't want an in-package ``virtualenv``? Maybe you
have your own ``virtualenv``, or you are building a MediaGoblin

deploying by hiding all the virtualenv and bower complexity.
If you want to install all of MediaGoblin's libraries
independently, that's totally fine! You can pass the flag
``--without-virtualenv`` which will skip this step.
But you will need to install all those libraries manually and make
sure they are on your ``PYTHONPATH`` yourself! (You can still use
``python setup.py develop`` to install some of those libraries,
but note that no ``./bin/python`` will be set up for you via this
method, since no virtualenv is set up for you!)
