Estoy tratando de usar virtualenv en Ubuntu para instalar un entorno de Python virtual local. Cuando ejecuto el comando shell:

<code>$ virtualenv ./virt_python
</code>

Lanza una excepción que no puede importar.pkg_resources. Pero cuando abro un shell de Python yfrom pkg_resources import load_entry_point funciona bien Para referencia, el stacktrace completo está abajo.

<code>$ virtualenv ./virt_python
