You can always install it directly, and not in a virtualenv. Am I missing something?

If it's installed globally then it wont have access to the libraries installed only in the virtualenv. I think there's a way to work around this, but I haven't taken the time to look into it.

This should be fixed in the latest iPython versions. iPython is now virtualenv-aware -- it'll add your venv path at startup even if iPython is installed in global site-packages.

That would require you to enable global site- packages for that virtualenv.
