[Bug 339904] [NEW] python-virtualenv doesn't work with Python 2.6.x

[Krzysztof Klimonda]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: python-virtualenv

kklimonda at ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu jaunty (development branch)
Release:	9.04
kklimonda at ubuntu:~$ virtualenv --version
1.0.1dev
kklimonda at ubuntu:~$ apt-cache policy python-virtualenv |grep Installed
  Installed: 1.1-1

Why does virtualenv return version 1.0.1dev when package is 1.1-1?
Also the newest virtualenv version is 1.3.2 and version 1.3.1 includes full python 2.6 support (I guess that's the real culprit as those missing modules are part of it).

Even if I link all required python modules (warnings.py*, linecache.py*,
_abcoll.py*, abc.py) I get another error:

File "<string>", line 7, in <module>
(...a lot of those lines...)
File "<string>", line 7, in <module>
