For non-system users, there's no good reason to use python outside a virtual environment now, and IMO the devs shouldn't encourage it.

Perhaps python should issue a warning if used outside a virtual environment, unless that warning is deliberately suppressed by a flag? That would be worth a point release on all older versions.

How's the situation with python packages that have native code parts? Previously they had to be compiled during installation, which wasn't easy on Windows.
