Please stop using pies2overrides

[douglarek]

If you have used tox, maybe you will not develop pies2overrides. It is evil to virtualenv.

When I use it in tox.ini:

envlist = py27, py33, py34

It occured this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lingchax/.pyenv/versions/2.7.6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 43, in <module>

and also:

Please use py2 and py3 judgement instead of overriding.

@douglarek, I agree that this is an issue, and I appreciate your feed back. That said, I do not want to use py2 / py3 judgement as the lack of a need for this is indeed the reason pies exists: pies does the judgement so individual projects don't have to. That said, I will be thinking of a good technical solution for this, that still enables nice clean Python 3 code to work on Python 2, without said logic.

Thanks!

Timothy

@timothycrosley thanks for your reply, expect a better technical solution.

@msabramo thanks, I will have a test when i have time.
