I'm trying to create a virtual environment for my Python3 project. The problem is, some of the dependencies I'm trying to install into the virtualenv aren't through pip. For example, to get LibTorrent, I had to run: $ sudo apt-get install python3-libtorrent (LibTorrent is a C++ library with Python bindings). Outside of the environment, my project runs fine. But inside I get an import error: (env) me@Comp:~/Projects/test$ python3 main.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 4, in <module> import libtorrent as lt ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'libtorrent' If I run $ sudo apt-get install python3-libtorrent inside the environment, it tells me that it's already installed: (env) me@Comp:~/Projects/test$ sudo apt-get install python3-libtorrent Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done python3-libtorrent is already the newest version (1.1.1-1build2). 0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 0 not to upgrade.
