Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS python-virtualenv version: 1.11.4-1
Normally, pip vendors a few python libraries under a _vendor directory in its source tree. When packaged for Ubuntu, pip is patched to use system installed of these libraries. python-virtualenv installs its own version of pip (found in /usr/share /python-virtualenv/pip-1.5debian1-py2.py3-none-any.whl) in every virtualenv it creates. Unfortunately, this version of pip is not patched and does not use the system wide python libraries. There is an open issue affecting urllib3 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-urllib3/+bug/1412545) that makes pip fail under certain circumstances. Patching virtualenv's pip would make it get the fix when urllib3 is updated, instead of requiring a separate fix. ** Affects: python-virtualenv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415028 Title: virtualenv's included pip does not use system libraries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-virtualenv/+bug/1415028/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
