title: Getting ImportError: cannot import name HTTPSHandler during creation of virtual environment
body: <p>I have a Raspbery Pi which I upgraded to Python 3.3.3 by doing the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install build-essential libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 bzip2 libbz2-dev
  wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.3.3/Python-3.3.3.tar.bz2
  tar jxf ./Python-3.3.3.tar.bz2
  cd ./Python-3.3.3
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/python3.3.3
  make &amp;&amp; sudo make install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But then after executing: <code>virtualenv -p /opt/python3.3.3/bin/python3.3 python3.3.3</code></p>
  
  <p>I get this error message:</p>
