Your command actually doesn't show the virtualenv? Is that how it suppossed to be? :~$ source /usr/local/pythonenv/BASELINE/bin/activate (BASELINE)[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Apr 5 2007, 20:11:18) [GCC 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import sys; print '\n'.join(sys.path) /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Dabo-0.8.3-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyodbc-0.0.0-py2.4-linux-i686.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Sphinx-0.1.61950-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Pygments-0.9-py2.4.egg /usr/lib/python24.zip /usr/lib/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4/plat-linux2 /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-tk /usr/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Numeric /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cairo /var/lib/python-support/python2.4 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-2.0 /var/lib/python-support/python2.4/gtk-2.0 /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode What I did is I regenerated the virtual env without the no-site-package part, (leaving everything the way it was, just rerunning the command) which added the system packages. I hope now when I do easy_install -U somesystempackage it will install the upgrade into the virtualenv location.
