site.getsitepackages() doesn't exist in virtualenv

[lebedov]

When I tried creating a virtualenv using virtualenv 1.10.1 on Ubuntu 13.10, I noticed that the site module in the virtualenv doesn't appear to contain the getsitepackages() function which is present in the system site module. This still appears to be the case in virtualenv 1.11.3 tested after installing it locally) and occurs regardless of whether the virtualenv is created with the --no-site-packages or --system-site-packages options. Is this expected? The absence of the getsitepackages() function does interfere with some packages that depend on it.
