FYI, I also tried doing:

lib/python2.#/site-packages but even that resulted in test failures.
Not sure if this indicates a problem with the way buildout.python builds
python.


I think this is simply because some of the zc.buildout tests run python -S (don't use site.py), and virtualenv relies on a modified site.py to add the stdlib to sys.path. IOW, the zc.buildout tests are not compatible with virtualenv's approach to isolation.
