I hope to see the light on that too. ;-) Meanwhile, my problem was that after creating the virtualenv, as cited in the blog post above linked, I got stuck in installing pip (and thus distribute) in that virtualenv, because 'VENV/local/bin' is not in the $PATH (and it seems reasonable for a virtualenv that this will remain stable). So, (IMHO) if changing the $PATH is not a good idea, either python should do: 1. patch distribute and pip to do not install in ./local by default if in a VENV. (enviroment variable based?, whatever) 2. create the links after creating the VENV (my naïve solution) Am I right or I completely hit the wrong issue? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16480> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
