 I've had problems in the past with, for example, how Python upper-cases
environment variable names.

Buildbot provides such an enclosure?  A Google of "buildbot virtual
environment" didn't turn up anything edifying.

Hmm.  Maybe our slaves are set up weirdly, but to do this on our slaves, it
would be:

$ source ~/buildbot-venv/bin/activate

The go to the appropriate directory and run the build.  The buildslave runs
inside this virtualenv so there can be differences.
