Thanks for testing this pre-release.

If you just want a personal install of pyOpenSSL, I suggest `setup.py 
install --user` (or for Pythons that don't yet have the `--user` option, 
`setup.py install --prefix ~/.local` and set PYTHONPATH appropriately).

I am not a heavy virtualenv user myself.  I haven't tested any pyOpenSSL 
releases with virtualenv before, so if it worked in 0.11, it was by 
accident.  I tried reproducing the problem you encountered, but I 
couldn't get past the very first command: https://gist.github.com/913448
