That's more related to Python than to CKAN. If you have used
the Python interpreter of the virtualenv (which you must, of
course) 'python setup develop' (you could also use 'pip install
-e <path/to/your/extension>') will install an .egg-link in the
site-packages directory of that interpreter (which is usually
<virtualenv>/lib/python2.7/site-packages). This is exactly
described in the
docs:http://docs.ckan.org/en/ckan-2.0/extensions.html#creating-ckan-extensions
