</div>(1) This may be unrelated to your problem, but I have *not* added support for using a virtualenv without --no-site-packages, and AFAIK it was never supported. It looks like you are not using --no-site-packages in your virtualenv, so I don't support that.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>Gotcha. And adding --no-site-packages does seem to have cleared up my problem. Thank you!<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
(2) It looks like you are using an old bootstrap. In addition to using the code from the svn+ssh://<a href="http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/gary-betafix/" target="_blank">svn.zope.org/repos/main/zc.buildout/branches/gary-betafix/</a> branch (I guess you made your own release?), you also need to make sure you are using the bootstrap if you want to use the new feature without virtualenv.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I pretty much always use buildout in a virtualenv. In my test, I'm creating the virtualenv, and then using easy_install to install buildout from a checkout<br>of your branch. Is there a better way to run the test?<br>

That said, the old bootstrap should still work with virtualenv + the new release, and if it doesn't that's a reasonable backwards-compatibility bug. I'll look into that later to see if that's the case.<br>
