pylons/pyramid code completion with gedit and virtualenv

I am working through the pyramid documentation and would really like code completion. I installed gedit-plugin-codecompletion

I am using virtualenv, once created I use the 'activate' file in the bin/ folder to switch over my terminal window. When I launch gedit I see these errors:

(env)agd@hephaestus:~/Dev/projects/LearningPyramid$ gedit 

** (gedit:11418): WARNING **: Error initializing Python interpreter: could not import pygtk.

** (gedit:11418): WARNING **: Please check the installation of all the Python related packages required by gedit and try again.

Would be very interested in anything you can help me with!

You should create your virtualenv without --no-site-packages argument to allow access to python packages installed system-wide.

If I were you, I just wouldn't run gedit from within your virtualenv. Start a new terminal window if you must. It just seems cleaner than installing non-development packages into your virtualenv.

Running without --no-site-packages could work, but some people think it's a good idea to keep your virtualenv truly isolated from your system so that you can keep it completely isolated and controlled the no-site-packages option removes that isolation.

As a first idea, I'd suggest you to run pip install pygtk in your env virtualenv. Have you tried it?
