How can I install a package with setup.py provided, within a virtualenv?

I have goose installed system-wide, but not in a virtualenv I have been working on

$ python -c "import goose" #ok
(venv)$ python -c "import goose" #not ok
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named goose

The setup instructions say

mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages goose
git clone https://github.com/grangier/python-goose.git
cd python-goose
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

How can I install it within my existing virtualenv venv?

mkvirtualenv goose_project
workon goose_project
git clone https://github.com/grangier/python-goose 
cd python-goose/
python setup.py install

and to verify installation 

pip freeze | grep "goose"
goose-extractor==1.0.22

Follow the setup instructions, but activate your virtualenv (workon venv or . venv/bin/activate) before calling pip or python.
