Minus the non-existence of activation scripts, is this not the case with normal virtual environments? I've always been able to invoke the python executable in the virtual environment directly and be in the proper environment. I believe the activation scripts just ensure your current shell uses the virtual environment's python rather than the system one or whatever you've configured your shell to use.
