virtualenvwrapper install failure - “what would cause ImportError: No module named core” etc?

Question

I'm on osx 10.6.8, and trying to use bash to install virtualenvwrapper, and am getting back cryptic feedback (at least for me). I was able to install virtualenv.

Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction...

the output from the failed install:

I suspect there is a versioning issue here - but no attempted updates/installs have fixed it as of yet python --version returns Python 2.7.4 -- perhaps there is a configuration issue I need to address? — jmhead
Thinking I'll check into my Mac environment setup and make sure everything uses Python 2.7 - the last lines seem to be calling 2.6 for some reason; I did pip install that got pip2 into the 2.7 framework — jmhead
Running sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper results in Downloading virtualenvwrapper-4.2.tar.gz — jmhead

Updating pbr package using pip install -U pbr globally solved the import issue.
