Mike,
Glad it worked for you. Although the Ubuntu team does a fine job of
package management I'm still a bit hesitant to use their python packages.
It's easy enough using vanilla python to get everything you need going. In
the future you can do the following just as easily.
`wget [1]http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py`
`sudo python ez_setup.py`
`sudo easy_install pip virtualenv virtualenvwrapper`
I strongly advise not using easy_install, it's awful.

Living up to your domain name, I see. I might have preferred the gentler
'has been superseded'. :-)
So you're recommending installing pip manually, by downloading from
PyPI, unzipping and running 'python setup.py install', followed by 'pip
install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper'. I know that's not much bother,
but in case it enhances my understanding, are there specific reasons why
'easy_install pip' is harmful in this context? By definition this
install isn't into a virtualenv.
Thanks,
Jonathan
