I tried activating virtual env and then use this command /opt/ActivePython-2.6/bin/pypm install mysql-python but same error

i want to use something like

/virtualenv/bin/ActivePython-2.6/bin/pypm install mysql-python

You can tell to virtualenv where is your python interpreter

Usage: virtualenv [OPTIONS] DEST_DIR

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Increase verbosity
  -q, --quiet           Decrease verbosity
  -p PYTHON_EXE, --python=PYTHON_EXE
                        The Python interpreter to use, e.g.,
                        --python=python2.5 will use the python2.5 interpreter
                        to create the new environment.  The default is the
                        interpreter that virtualenv was installed with
