I have google-cloud-storage pip installed into a lib directory and vendored in. It's running just fine locally during development of my python appengine app. However, when trying to run unit tests via nose and testbed I'm getting "The 'google-cloud-core' distribution was not found and is required by the application". Here is the stack:

Any thoughts?
I had the same issue with google-cloud-translate, I was forced to also install the package "globally", i.e. pip install google-cloud-translate.
