pip recognize global installed packages..?! :-(
I've used virtualenvwrapper preactivate hook to clean PYTHONPATH,
export PYTHONPATH=""
then echo $PYTHONPATH returns empty string, but this didn't help.
What's wrong?
bentzy@lama:~$ mkvirtualenv test
New python executable in test/bin/python

You are using
sudo
to install simplejson, but if you usesudo
your$PATH
may be changed, and that seems to be the problem.Just use
pip install simplejson
(nosudo
included) and it is probably going to work.Use
sudo
only when you want to affect your whole system.Already satisfied means that you already install "it".
try: pip uninstall simplejson
and then: pip install simplejson
