    <p>I've been using virtualenv + pip for python development. I'm not sure what happened, but suddenly whenever I try to run a command-line tool or import libraries, I get this error message:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/bin/pip", line 4, in &lt;module&gt; import pkg_resources File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 698, in &lt;module&gt; the platform/python version defined at initialization are added. File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 701, in Environment search_path = sys.path File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 96, in get_supported_platform 'Environment', 'WorkingSet', 'ResourceManager', File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/lib/python2.6/site-packages/setuptools-0.6c11-py2.6.egg/pkg_resources.py", line 221, in get_build_platform if provDarwin: File "/Users/kyle/.virtualenvs/fj/lib/python2.6/distutils/__init__.py", line 14, in &lt;module&gt; exec open(os.path.join(distutils_path, '__init__.py')).read() IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/distutils/__init__.py' </code></pre> <p>From what I can decipher, Python is trying to find <code>distutils_path</code> in the Mac OSX system version Python, <em>not</em> my virtualenv version like it should be.</p> <p>Not sure why this suddenly started happening. Maybe a recent OSX update? Another possibility is that my hard drive was about to die, so Apple gave me a new one and ran Migration Assistant. Maybe something didn't transferred across correctly?</p>

    1. COAfter looking at distutils/__init__.py, it's doing this: `distutils_path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(ConfigParser.__file__), 'distutils')` I really have no idea how this works, but it appears `ConfigParser` is pointing to OSX system python, when it should be pointing to my virtualenv.

    2. CODon't know if this will help anyone but, Homebrew has a good install of python and virtualenv check this out. https://gist.github.com/pithyless/1208841

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
