Description

The use of python virtualenv to build docs or use RSB has been suggested a few times. We should provide a brief sketch in our documentation about that utility.

For example, in modern versions of Arch Linux, python is now a shortcut to python3 from the python package. For tools that do not yet function in Python 3, users can set up a virtual environment with Python 2 as follows:

At a root terminal, install python2-virtualenv with pacman.

# pacman -S python2-virtualenv

Examples of other architectures and uses for virtualenv would round out a reasonable section in the user manual for Preparation.
