#1464 closed defect
stronger isolation between the Python libraries imported by build steps and those used by buildbot — at Initial Version

Description
buildbot uses some of the same Python libraries as Tahoe, for example Twisted and pywin32. This creates problems for build steps that want to test what happens when those libraries are not installed, or when a version that is not compatible with buildbot is installed.
#1334 is a special case of this problem, as is #1346.
Possible solutions include using virtualenv, or setting up PYTHONPATH differently for buildbot and for the code under test.
