# Compliments to Nick Coghlan for coming up with this sort of scheme
# foo 1.2 is not installed, this command would download, and "install"
# it into ~/.pip/dists/foo-1.2/ and then link $VENV/site-packages/foo -> ~/.pip/dists/foo-1.2/
$ pip install foo==1.2
# In another virtualenv this command would see that ~/.pip/dists/foo-1.2/ already
# exists so instead of downloading + installing it, it simply links $OTHER_VENV/site-packages/foo/
# to ~/.pip/dists/foo-1.2/
$ pip install foo=1.2

If I uninstall foo from both virtualenvs, is it cleaned from ~/.pip/dists?
