Hello, I'm having problems with macOSX and virtualenv. It seems to ignore --no-site-package. Using exactly the same commands with linux (archlinux) it works. It it macOSX 10.5 with python 2.5

curl -o virtualenv.py 'http://bitbucket.org/ianb/virtualenv/raw/tip/virtualenv.py

Create a new environment

python virtualenv.py --no-site-packages foo
New python executable in foo/bin/python
Installing setuptools...........................done.

Activate it

source foo/bin/activate

Try to install something in it. Despite virtualenv it looks for the system-wide install

easy_install cherrypy
Searching for cherrypy
Best match: CherryPy 3.1.2
Adding CherryPy 3.1.2 to easy-install.pth file

Yet it doesn't find the module

I tried PIP after looking at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1382925/virtualenv-no-site-packages-and-pip-still-finding-global-packages However it fails installing psycopg2 (some problems with gcc). Also I would like to be able to have a setup.py (from distribute) that does the whole woork
