What is `python3-virtualenv-clone`

A script for cloning a non-relocatable Python virtual environment. Virtualenv provides a way to make a virtual environment relocatable which could then be copied as we wanted. However, making a virtualenv relocatable this way breaks the no-site-packages isolation of the virtualenv as well as other aspects that come with relative paths and ‘/usr/bin/env’ shebangs that may be undesirable. Also, the ‘.pth’ and ‘.egg-link’ rewriting doesn’t seem to work as intended. Virtualenv-clone attempts to overcome these issues and provide a way to easily clone an existing virtualenv.
