Walter, you are a god amongst men. It turns out this is a bug in Ubuntu 10.4's virtualenv package. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-virtualenv/+bug/517390
But your advice has successfully worked around it. For anyone else wanting a quick method to get pip + virtualenv running on Ubuntu 10,4, here's what I did to get things working: 1. aptitude install python-virtualenv and python-setuptools packages 2. easy_install pip 3. easy_install virtualenv-wrapper 4. mkvirtualenv <project> 5. pip -E <project> install <python module> Mike On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 9:19 PM, Ed Stafford < walter.staff...@carbonsixty.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > You should really use easy_install to install pip under your main python > site-packages along with virtualenv/virtualenvwrapper and then use PIP after > you mkvirtualenv.
