You're right, Carlton. I'm just trying to keep my development environment as clean as possible without the installation of some software which is not required to be installed on my laptop or desktop.

I'm not initially seeing the benefit here.
nodeenvdoesn't avoid you needing to install node/npm. It just does controls that process for you, allowing you to install and manage multiple node versions.The PyPI package is just a wrapper around the main `nodeenv` project right? I can see that someone might want to use this themselves. (I use it in fact.) But I can't see why I'd want to install this in my Python virtualenv: it strikes me as adding a nesting where we don't need one. (I'm sure the Zen of Python says something about that. 🙂)
Installing node is not a big issue IMO.
