[Python-modules-team] Bug#766261: ImportError: cannot import name IncompleteRead

[Christian Hofstaedtler]

Package: virtualenv
Version: 1.11.6-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

Creating a virtualenv no longer works. I consider this to be a
"serious" problem.
