+To add additional packages into the virtual environment, try using pip.
+
+{{{
+$ source ~/src/chimera-virtualenv/bin/activate
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ pip help
+Usage: pip COMMAND [OPTIONS]
+
+Options:
+  --version             show program's version number and exit
+  -h, --help            Show help
+  -E DIR, --environment=DIR
+                        virtualenv environment to run pip in (either give the
+                        interpreter or the environment base directory)
+  -s, --enable-site-packages
+                        Include site-packages in virtualenv if one is to be
+                        created. Ignored if --environment is not used or the
+                        virtualenv already exists.
+  -v, --verbose         Give more output
+  -q, --quiet           Give less output
+  --log=FILENAME        Log file where a complete (maximum verbosity) record
+                        will be kept
+  --proxy=PROXY         Specify a proxy in the form
+                        user:passwd@proxy.server:port. Note that the
+                        user:password@ is optional and required only if you
+                        are behind an authenticated proxy.  If you provide
+                        user@proxy.server:port then you will be prompted for a
+                        password.
+  --timeout=SECONDS, --default-timeout=SECONDS
+                        Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds)
+
+Commands available:
+  bundle: Create pybundles (archives containing multiple packages)
+  freeze: Output all currently installed packages (exact versions) to stdout
+  help: Show available commands
+  install: Install packages
+  search: Search PyPI
+  uninstall: Uninstall packages
+  unzip: Unzip individual packages
+  zip: Zip individual packages
+}}}
+
+
+Now for something adventurous, installing the [http://packages.python.org/spyder/ spyder] python-IDE.
+
+{{{
+$ source ~/src/chimera-virtualenv/bin/activate
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ cd ~/Downloads
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ wget http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/sip4/sip-4.10.5.tar.gz
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ tar zxvf sip-4.10.5.tar.gz
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ cd sip-4.10.5
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ python configure.py
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ make
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ sudo make install
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ cd ..
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ wget http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Downloads/PyQt4/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.4.tar.gz
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ tar zxvf PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.4.tar.gz
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ cd PyQt-x11-gpl-4.7.4
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ python configure.py --no-designer-plugin --qmake=/usr/bin/qmake-qt4
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ make
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ sudo make install
+}}}
+
+That should satisfy the dependencies for [http://packages.python.org/spyder/ spyder].  So, try to install spyder, like so:
+{{{
+$ source ~/src/chimera-virtualenv/bin/activate
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ pip install spyder
+}}}
+
+OK, if that works, then try to setup the environment and run spyder.
+
+{{{
+$ source ~/src/chimera-virtualenv/bin/activate
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ export TCL_LIBRARY="$CHIMERA/lib/tcl8.6"
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ export TCLLIBPATH="{$CHIMERA/lib}"
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ unset TK_LIBRARY
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ unset TIX_LIBRARY
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ export LD_PRELOAD=libotf.so
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ export PATH=$PATH:$CHIMERA/bin
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ unset PYTHONHOME
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ unset PYTHONPATH 
+(chimera-virtualenv)$ spyder
