+Using Virtualenv without ``bin/python``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Sometimes you can't or don't want to use the Python interpreter
+created by the virtualenv.  For instance, in a `mod_python
+<http://www.modpython.org/>`_ or `mod_wsgi <http://www.modwsgi.org/>`_
+environment, there is only one interpreter.
+
+Luckily, it's easy.  You must use the custom Python interpreter to
+*install* libraries.  But to *use* libraries, you just have to be sure
+the path is correct.  Adding the correct path is easy::
+
+    import site
+    site.addsitedir('/path/to/virtualenv/lib/python2.5/site-packages')
+
+Using this you can have your isolated working environment, using the
+custom Python interpreter, but treat the result as just a simple set
+of libraries when running your application.
