[virt-tools-list] virt-manager reporting wrong virtinst version and refuse to start

[Bruno Lamps]

Running from outside the virtinst directory:

lamps at ubunteira:/opt/virtinst-0.500.5$ cd /
lamps at ubunteira:/$ python -c 'import virtinst; print virtinst'
<module 'virtinst' from
'/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/virtinst/__init__.pyc'>

Running python setup.py install --prefix=/usr and trying to launch
virt-manager resulted in the same error message, but using "PYTHONPATH=..."
to launch virt-manager works! Thanks!

It will be necessary to change this path everytime I run virt-manager? Is it
possible to make some sort of workaround? =]
