Oh, sorry if I came off wrong. What I meant is that if you have glance installed
systemwide, you'd be better off running the command found in tox.ini rather than
running `run_tests.sh`. One reason is that one point in favor to `tox` and even
`run_tests.sh` itself is isolating test environments. Other than that, I don't
think they provide much other benefits over just running testr directly (which I
sometimes do).

Hope that's clearer,
Flavio
