It would be interesting to try the same on the Mac to see if this introduces the problem but I do not have one to hand. Tried to repro on Mac, but for some reason virtualenv won't install future even though I can outside of it: ggla...@coyots-mbp.attlocal.net:~$ pip install future Collecting future   Using cached future-0.15.2.tar.gz Installing collected packages: future   Running setup.py install for future ... done Successfully installed future-0.15.2 ggla...@coyots-mbp.attlocal.net:~$ virtualenv pytest New python executable in /Users/gglazer/pytest/bin/python Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done. ggla...@coyots-mbp.attlocal.net:~$ source pytest/bin/activate (pytest) ggla...@coyots-mbp.attlocal.net:~$ python -c"import queue;" Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named queue (pytest) ggla...@coyots-mbp.attlocal.net:~$ pip install future Collecting future   Using cached future-0.15.2.tar.gz Could not import setuptools which is required to install from a source distribution.
