I will admit to not actually understanding Galaxy's dependency management but I think virtualenv is exactly the advice people who do understand it give http://dev.list.galaxyproject.org/Local-installation-problem-td4662627.html. It is a widely used tool precisely designed to solve such problems - I think it is the best way to go. I don't know why it would not be appropriate for existing installations - I think it is in fact somethimg of a "best practice" for existing installations.

Certainly that error message should be more helpful but I am not sure we should do anything to address this beyond that - do you have a particular idea in mind?

That's a useful workaround, but a virtualenv is not viable for existing
Galaxy installations - which may also come to have this problem if
their system copy of paramiko is updated?

I'm not familiar with paramiko or markupsafe, but if there is a conflict
it would be good to have a direct fix.
