globally installed curdling should be able to install things inside of a virtual env about curdling HOT 3 OPEN

This is very annoying, it should be fixed somehow. However, virtualenv bundles a sdist of pip - it is not reusing the globally installed one.

So, it's kinda hard to fix this issue.

That's why we actually have virtualenv anyway. To change the place python reads the installed packages, virtualenv has to have its own python binary because there's a check for the os.py module inside of the C source that determines if you're in the right import path or not.

It's crazy but that's how python works and that's why virtualenv exists. We could certainly find a workaround for that, but besides that, I'll keep marching towards the gates of the import system and extend that part to work better with multiple environments.

That's actually an old idea in my mind that starts to make even more sense now that use cases are so outstanding.

Thank you guys for coming up with such an important issue.

Thank you @gabrielfalcao for just providing us a workaround for this problem. I'll add that to the main documentation website.

Could you post the link for the workaround provided by @gabrielfalcao ?
