Ouch - yes - I see what you mean.

I think current tox 0.9 uses virtualenv5 for python3.2 and has to use
distribute, I believe.  Current tip of pytox appears to use virtualenv
1.6.1 for python 3.2, and does use pip, but generates the same error
in the end.

I've appended the result of a fresh python3.2 virtualenv and a "pip
install numpy".

Sorry - I know these are not fun problems,

See you,

Matthew
