Python virtualenv -> New python executable in venv/bin/python

Question

I'm currently trying to install Sevabot with this tutorial: https://sevabot-skype-bot.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ubuntu.html Everything is going fine until I need to install Sevabot. I can download the virtualenv.py file just fine but when I want to execute python virtualenv.py it returns a error.

~/sevabot$ python virtualenv.py venv New python executable in venv/bin/python Cannot find sdist setuptools-*.tar.gz Cannot find sdist pip-*.tar.gz

Weird thing is, I have done this 5 times without any problems. Always Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64. Already did a clean install several times.

~/sevabot$ uname -a
Linux sbvps01 2.6.32-5-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Fri May 10 09:43:55 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Virtualenv is up to date:

easy_install virtualenv
Searching for virtualenv
Best match: virtualenv 1.7.1.2
Adding virtualenv 1.7.1.2 to easy-install.pth file
Installing virtualenv script to /usr/local/bin

Using /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Processing dependencies for virtualenv
Finished processing dependencies for virtualenv

Python version:

python -V
Python 2.7.3

Actually, Stackoverflow is helping me more in Linux then Superuser ever did. (For example, check the related items) I do understand your point tough so I want to apologize. — xolympus

I understand your point, no need to apologize. It's maybe better to get help where you can get it :) — Patrik

This can happen when you are not installing virtualenv/python using distribution packaging system. You might want to download files in https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tree/develop/virtualenv_support and run virtualenv with --extra-search-dir virtualenv_support

This is also explained here: http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/#environment-variables-and-configuration-files.
