In my Django application, when I launch dbshell_plus, it seems to use the system mycli and not the one in virtualenv. When I uninstall the system mycli, a regular mysql client is started.

Additionally, dbshell_plus does not respect the mycli and Pygments in the virtualenv.

$ venv/bin/python manage.py dbshell_plus
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/mycli", line 7, in <module>
    from mycli.main import cli
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mycli/main.py", line 44, in <module>
    from .lexer import MyCliLexer
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mycli/lexer.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pygments.lexer import inherit
ImportError: cannot import name inherit

The issue is here:

The subprocess.call is invoked with args, which naively just uses pgcli or mycli, but does not detect whether it should use the path in virtualenv or not.
