title: Cannot Create New Virtualenv in Lion
body: <p>I'm having trouble with virtualenv in Lion. I've clean reinstalled Virtualenv and Pip it but it seems like it's struggling with finding Pip when creating a new environment. I removed virtualenvwrapper to make sure that's not interfering too.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately the path it's looking in seems to be truncated in the error message.</p>
  
  <p>The environment gets part created but there's no activate script. This is the traceback:</p>
