[users at bb.net] buildbot --version failing

[Elliot Saba]

You have installed buildbot in your global python packages, under Python
3.  Note how the buildbot script is being run from /usr/bin/buildbot.  Try
removing it from your global python packages, then activate your virtualenv
and try installing it again.

This kind of behavior is not unusual for a python package; many packages
are not compatible with python 3, so care must be taken when invoking these
packages with python3 as the main python interpreter.  Once your virtualenv
is setup properly (which it looks like it is) and the packages are
installed *within* that virtualenv (which they are not yet) everything
should work just fine.
