Working with virtualenv

+Intro
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Virtualenv blah blah
+
+*Virtualenv* is the *Virtual Python Environment builder*.
+
+It is a tool to create isolated Python environments.
+
+The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application that needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires version 2. How can you use both these applications? If you install everything into /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (or whatever your platform's standard location is), it's easy to end up in a situation where you unintentionally upgrade an application that shouldn't be upgraded.
+
+Read more about it in the `project documentation page <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv/>`_.

+
+Running openvpn without root privileges
+---------------------------------------
+
+In linux, we are using ``policykit`` to be able to run openvpn without run privileges, and a policy file is needed to be installed for that to be possible.
+The setup script tries to install the policy file when installing the client system-wide, so if you have installed the client in your global site-packages at least once it should have copied this file for you.
+
+If you *only* are running the client from inside a virtualenv, you will need to copy this file by hand::

+ $ sudo cp pkg/linux/polkit/net.openvpn.gui.leap.policy /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/net.openvpn.gui.leap.policy
