I often use virtualenv to keep right version of dependancies installed for a project.

virtualenv apps --distribute

The problem is that when using that, virtualenv keep installing distribute==0.6.19

I need each time to run first :

pip install distribute -U

Why is that and how can I make it install directly the right version of distribute ?

Thank you.

    There was a similar question about updating pip on the python-virtualenv list. I’ve repeated here for convenience:

    If you are using a recent virtualenv you can also use --extra-search-dir option to point to an alternate directory containing the distribute package you wish to install. This is documented here:

    http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/index.html#the-extra-search-dir-option

    User-provided extra-search-dir paths have precedence over the “builtin” search paths, so you should be able to achieve what you want
