私の仮説は、新しいvirtualenvをアクティブ化した後、bpythonをインストールしていないというものです。
私はあなたが言ったようにそれを正確にフォローアップしました:
mkvirtualenv bpython
(bpython)~ $ pip install bpython
(bpython)~ $bpython
次に、コマンドを実行しました。
>>> import sys
>>> print '\n'.join(sys.path)
/Users/xxxx/.virtualenvs/bpython/bin

そして、アクティブ化されたvirtualenvの下でpythonを実行することによって同じことを再び行いました
(bpython)~ $ python
.....
>>> import sys
>>> print '\n'.join(sys.path)
