Research direction

Start by comparing the venv-related work in pyperformance with the proposed pyperf runner.venv context manager. The issue needs an API decision before implementation; done would mean an agreed way for pyperf users to benchmark code in an installed virtual environment.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Playing around with pyperf, I can't help but think I'm going to end up reimplementing/importing a bunch of the pyperformance code around venvs. When testing performance of almost any Python code, I probably want to do it with it installed rather than from within a source tree, which means that any user of pyperf will end up implementing that.

I don't really know what makes the most sense API-wise; one obvious option would be a context manager which allows you to with runner.venv("requirements.txt") as env: env.bench_func("name", func) perhaps?
