[Grok-dev] Cannot easyinstall grokproject

[Milind Khadilkar]

Thanks, Uli. Facing such problems gives a great opportunity to learn, thanks
to all on this list.
My virtualenv version is indeed 1.3.3 (which is the most recent one)

I am actually not a "user" not even a "serious programmer", so it using a
workaround would not help me. But you are right: this problem needs to be
resolved.
Thanks and regards
