Python packages installed with pip in a virtual environment do not work in eclipse

I am new to pyDev and Eclipse. I am going crazy trying to figure out how to run new installed packages from within Eclipse (so I can see results in the console). I did set up the interpreter within Eclipse to point to the virtual environment using instructions found here: http://www.caktusgroup.com/blog/2011/08/31/getting-started-using-python-eclipse/

Here is what I did. Created a virtual environment and installed a new package (pandas) using pip. I then test some code

from pandas.io.data import DataReader

If I test this line by invoking the python interpreter in the virtual environment, it all works well. However, if I run the line within eclipse I get errors.

All to no avail. Here are the errors I get:

'module' object has no attribute 'tslib'

to add virtualenv to Eclipse PyDev workspace go to Window menu entry and choose preferences, in the open dialog go to PyDev->Iterpreter-Python.

In the Library tab click the "New Folder" button and add your vitrual env. directory.

mine looks like

/home/guy/.virtualenvs/my-env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
