I wrote this little test script to prove my virtualenv is reading from global site packages:
Script Content from distutils.sysconfig import get_python_lib print (get_python_lib()) Script Output (botnet_etl)[swright@localhost app]$ python test.py /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages (botnet_etl)[swright@localhost app]$ Please note that (botnet_etl) is the name of the virtualenv -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
