Nope.

We had a (private) discussion about it during latest hackfest, and Borys
(in bcc) hopes to be able to address this as part of the plugins install
overhaul.

As the discussion (2014?), you are pointing to, mentions pip and virtual
env's: just yesterday I stumbled upon pipenv [0][1]. Not sure if that
could be helpful, but apparently it is  a pip-virtualenv marriage...

Ps, maybe good to start a QEP [2] to discuss this?
