Though I am not sure exactly why, it is this line in the activation script that is hanging up maya: site.addsitedir(site_packages)
I have not tried using a virtualenv with maya before. Its a lot easier to just update the PYTHONPATH from the Maya.env, or, update the sys.path from the userSetup.py At our studio we just use git repos in a facility network location, and then point our userSetup.py files at that location. Using pip locally just for distributing your maya modules seems like overkill to me, but thats just my opinion and I could be completely wrong. With git, you can pull your updates at any time, tag, branch, and have a great deal of control over the package location. Do you have some specialized need that makes a local setuptools approach more appealing than a repo?
