VirtualEnv cannot import name wraps

Question

I'm trying to figure out why my Djagno wsgi script won't run. It runs fine under normal python but virtualenv produces the following stack trace:

(virtualenv)... [~]# python djangosites/test1.wsgi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "djangosites/test1.wsgi", line 13, in <module>
    from django.core.handlers.wsgi import WSGIHandler
  File "/home/myofirst/virtualenv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.2.3-py2.6.egg/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py", line 1, in <module>
    from threading import Lock
  File "/opt/python2.6/lib/python2.6/threading.py", line 13, in <module>
    from functools import wraps
ImportError: cannot import name wraps

It looks like I need to have functools installed. I tried this via easy_install and now neither pip or easy_install will run, they both complain about missing wraps. What do I need to install/uninstall to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Created a new virtualenv as this one was broken. No problems now.
