What were you trying to do?
Do python development
What's wrong:
Athena machines don't have virtualenv by default, this means that packages must be installed as root. However, these packages are removed when I log out. The net result is that I need to reinstall all my python packages every time i log back in.
What should have happened:
If python-virtualenv is provided by athena, I can locally install these python packages, and don't have to go through the hassle of reinstalling everything everytime i log out and log in.
