Hi,

when you include a whole folder (as I think that you try with -E /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/), you need to use flag -I instead of -E. So your commandline will be the next one:

minicon -i sanity_test:v2 -t sanity_test:v5 --apt -E bash -E 'ssh localhost' -E ip -E id -E curl -E vim -E git -E cat -E ls -I /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages -I /usr/lib/python2.7 -E python -E python3 -E pip -E pip3 -E rm -E mkdir -E 'ping -c 1 www.google.co.in' -E wget

Please notice that in this case will you also need to include the folder /usr/lib/python2.7 to have __future__.py which is needed by paramiko.
