I'm trying to port reportlab extensions to Python 3.3. On windows I get a
missing library error when trying to build/install the trial reportlab in a
virtual environment eg
C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab>\python33\python -m venv tpy33
C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab>tpy33\Scripts\activate
(tpy33) C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab>rm -r build
(tpy33) C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab>python setup.py build_ext

this doesn't happen if I run the installed Python-3.3 directly eg

is this a bug or some misconfiguration; should I be using virtualenv?
