[Python-modules-team] Bug#763389: python-virtualenv: Error when attempting to create a pypy virtualenv

[Mikael Taina]

Package: python-virtualenv
Version: 1.11.6-2
Severity: important


Dear Maintainer,

Installing new virtualenv while configuring pypy as the used interpreter fails

installed pypy packages are:
ii   pypy                                  2.3.1+dfsg-1                      amd64
ii   pypy-dev                              2.3.1+dfsg-1                      all
ii   pypy-lib                              2.3.1+dfsg-1                      all


To reproduce, run:
~ $ virtualenv --python pypy pypytest

Outcome:

Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/pypy
New pypy executable in pypytest/bin/pypy
Installing setuptools, pip...
  Complete output from command /home/mikael/tmp/pypytest/bin/pypy -c "import sys, pip; sys...d\"] + sys.argv[1:]))" setuptools pip:

OSError: Command /home/mikael/tmp/pypytest/bin/pypy -c "import sys, pip; sys...d\"] + sys.argv[1:]))" setuptools pip failed with error code 1


Expected outcome would be a new clean virtualenv, like without the --python argument
