Hi Sergey,

IIUC, you're installing Avocado via pip, right?  And then Avocado-VT
from source, correct?

This should be possible, and I've verified it works.  The basic steps I
followed:

 python -m virtualenv /tmp/foo
 . /tmp/foo/bin/activate
 pip install avocado-framework
 cd /path/to/my/avocado-vt
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 pip install .
 avocado vt-bootstrap
 avocado list

I've posted the logs output here:
