By svetlyak40wt:

By the way. Original virtual env does the right thing, if it was run properly. It should be started using the python interpreter from the virtual env. For example, if you run it like this:

/usr/bin/python virtualenv.py --relocatable env

Then it will do nothing with egg-link files inside the `env/lib/`.
But if you'll do this:

env/bin/python virtualenv.py --relocatable env

Then it will rewrite all egg-link and .pth files to be relative.
