Hi, everyone.

I'm following the Countbeat example tutorial and `make setup` fails with the following error:

```auto
mkdir -p vendor/github.com/elastic/
cp -R /home/kmyokoyama/go/src/github.com/elastic/beats vendor/github.com/elastic/
rm -rf vendor/github.com/elastic/beats/.git
make update

```

It seems to be related to virtuaenv or python's version, but I don't know for sure.

Thank you.

which python version do you have? Do you have virtualenv installed?

My python's default version is 3.6.0 (Anaconda), but I also have 2.7.12 installed. I have virtualenv version 15.0.1. installed.

It now works.

The problem was virtualenv out of date. After updating all components (pip, cookiecutter, virtualenv and even Go) I was able to build Countbeat and run it.

Thank you.
