Fixing strange python sys.path in virtualenv

I had /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages in the sys.path of a no-global-site-packages venv

Good ref regarding python sys.path

http://mikeboers.com/blog/2014/05/23/where-does-the-sys-path-start

Find .pth files :

find venv/lib/python2.7/ -name "*.pth"

also look in ~/.local/lib/python2.7

Print sys.path :

python -c "import sys; print 'n'.join(sys.path)"
