Answer 1

Perhaps use the virtualenv option --no-site-packages so you won't see any system site-packages within your virtual environment. Having items installed both in your virtualenv and on the system root may be the cause of this issue.

Using --no-site-packages when creating your virtualenv prevents any conflict between system packages. I almost always use that option when creating a new virtualenv to prevent any conflicts. Though I may have several copies of libraries, at least they don't mess with each other.
