Quoting Python 2.6 Ubuntu changelog: "* For locally installed packages, create a directory /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages. This is the default for installations done with distutils and setuptools. Third party stuff packaged within the distribution goes to /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages. There is no /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages in the file system and on sys.path. No package within the distribution must not install anything in this location. " I guess what happens is: * virtualenv creates only $ENV/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages because it doesn't check where Python distribution expects local packages to go. * then virtualenv invokes setuptools which looks for $ENV/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ and bails out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, this is what i've deducted after short work with virtualenv-1.3.3. virtualenv still works with python 2.5 because dist-packages and whole split into /usr/local/ vs. /usr/ was made in Python 2.6.. Well, according to changelogs. -- python-virtualenv doesn't work with Python 2.6.x https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/339904 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
