Install pisa on Ubuntu (django)

Question

I'm trying to install pisa, I have all the requirements installed.

I try import:

import ho.pisa as pisa

or:

import xhtml2pd.pisa as pisa

Error:

ImportError
Exception Value:    

No module named reportlab.lib.units

Last traceback:

from pisa_util import *

from reportlab.lib.units import inch, cm

I'm running in virtual environment. I believe i have all requirements installed.

I did:

sudo apt-get install python-pisa

created test.html, and in command-line:

xhtml2pdf test.html target.pdf

This generate pdf correctly

However:

pip install reportlab
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): reportlab in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Cleaning up...

Still throw error.

Any help is appreciated.
