I'm trying to install salt 0.13 by pip into virtual environment, but i get this error

How can i install this version into venv by pip?

[Sean Channel]

The two messages are only warnings, but it looks like some cleanup is
needed here.

- the esky / bbfreeze message is in case you want a frozen build with
automatic updates
http://docs.saltstack.org/en/latest/topics/tutorials/esky.html

- the proper version / git tags message is to let you know about the
extra step needed for salt to report the correct version; run 'git fetch
--tags upstream' to fix this.

Do you still get a working salt in bin/ in your virtualenv?

 I can get the working copy of salt if i run the "python setup.py install" command in the /build folder under my venv. In this case there is no need to install esky / bbfreeze. All works good.
But problem in the need of install salt by pip without any manipulations (for run tests and creation virtual environment).

[Svetlana Shturm]

In fact it was the problem in salt. It use distutils by default, that doesn't have the  option  --single-version-externally-managed. We should use install command from setuptools instead of distutils and do it by default.
