python manage.py syncdb error: No module named south. Django installation outside Virtualenvwrapper called

Question

I have Django installed in a virtualenvwrapper instance on which I've installed South. However When calling python manage.py syncdb the Django installation outside of the virtualenvwrapper is called and does not find south. How do I fix this?

    [~/devground/django_gilgamesh]# pip install south

Update: When testing on the command line import south gives ImportError: No module named south

Answer 1

SOLVED: It appears python looks for south outside of the virtualenvwrapper instance. When I installed south after closing the virtualenv the migration worked. This creates another problem I will post in a new thread.

NOTE: since i'm using django installed in the virtualenvwrapper instance this should not happen

Anyone have an Idea how to fix this or a better explanation as to why this is happening?
