How does vrtualenv make maintaining, auditing, and using a local mirror of dependencies trivial? Seems to me I can download a poisoned package into a venv cache just as easily as I can download it with wget, and unless I take the time to check, I’m none the wiser either way.

I was referring specifically to not being able to deploy due to a package manager being down. Of course there are still issues that can crop up with using virtualenv.
