Eclipse / PyDev running a pyramid development.ini issue “pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound:”

Question

I'm starting out with the Pyramid framework and trying to run this inside of Eclipse.

My run configuration is:

Main Module: /home/ben/env/bin/paster

Program Arguments: serve /home/ben/dev/python/pyramid/firstPyramid/first/development.ini

This virtualenv paster will serve development.ini fine from the command line. However, running this in eclipse gives:

[Invalid file specified for console output: ]

I also have PyDev using the python interpreter of the virtualenv setup.

Any ideas what may be the issue?

Here is a screenshot:

I fixed this by changing the PYHTONPATH property in pydev to also use env/bin.
