Running from within a virtualenv

[tilsche]

I wanted to use tox --current-env from within a virtualenv. I could not find anything in the README indicating that it doesn't fundamentally work.

However, since tox-current-env just symlinks the python executable of the virtualenv, the normal mechanism of virtualenv to set sys.path relative to the path of the python executable does not seem to apply and none of the site-packages of the virtualenv are available in tox-current-env's fake virtualenv.

I'm wondering if this is intentional, then maybe the documentation could be improved. Otherwise maybe symlink the lib directory of the virtualenv or possibly setting PYTHONPATH could help such that tox-current-env also works out of a virtualenv.

Hey. Yes, this won't work.

See for example #44

If you have suggestions to improve the documentation, I would gladly review that.
