[users at bb.net] buildbot --version failing

[Wink Saville]

I uninstalled the previous version and installed buildbot under virtualenv
for python2 and it works:

$ . venv/bin/activate
(venv)[wink at wink-envy buildbot]
$ buildbot --version
Buildbot version: 0.8.12
Twisted version: 15.4.0
(venv)[wink at wink-envy buildbot]

Although way premature at this point, running a background service like
continuous integration in a virtualenv seems clumsy. I suspect I'm missing
something.

I'm feeling using docker or other container system might be a better
approach, but I don't know anything about them either :)

Suggestions?
