[Python-modules-team] Bug#789174: python-virtualenv (Python 2) dependent on Python 3

[Sean Coates]

Package: python-virtualenv
Version: 1.11.6+ds-1

I have a system that needs Python 2. I have Python 2.7 installed. I also need `virtualenv`.
`python-virtualenv` states "This is the Python 2 version of the library.”:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-virtualenv <https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-virtualenv>

However, it depends on `python-pip-whl`:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-pip-whl <https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-pip-whl>

Which, in turn, depends on `python-chardet-whl`:
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-chardet-whl <https://packages.debian.org/jessie/python-chardet-whl>

…and that depends on `python3-pkg-resources`, which requires `python3`.

So, to install `virtualenv` for Python 2, there’s a dependency on Python 3.
This is not right.
