OK, this appears to be a serious regression that breaks virtualenv. Steve Dower suggested a workaround on the tracker, but I don't think that can be made to work in the case of virtualenv (for reasons not worth explaining now, ask me if you want the details though). Given where we are, what is the way forward here? I'm not entirely sure what I should be saying to the user who reported the bug in virtualenv. I think I'll recommend downgrading to 3.3.3 for now, but it would be good to be able to give an idea of what the longer term solution is likely to be.
