Libtorrent installed but missing after Flexget reinstall

After reinstalling flexget (I was using 2.10.65 which I had installed using sudo), flexget cannot convert magnets anymore because Libtorrent is supposedly missing. However, I had installed Libtorrent like this:
sudo apt-get install -y python-libtorrent
and it worked flawlessly with 2.10.65.

Now, I have uninstalled Flexget (pip uninstall flexget) and removed the ~/flexget folder. Then I reinstalled like this:

virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3.4 ~/flexget/
cd ~/flexget/
bin/pip install flexget
source ~/flexget/bin/activate
pip install subliminal>=2.0
pip install transmissionrpc
pip install transmissionrpc --upgrade

Two things are different compared to my previous 2.10.65 install. Now:
- I use python3.4 (instead of 2.7).
- I install Flexget without sudo.

Why I am stuck now:
- --system-site-packages option allowed Flexget 2.10.65 to use Libtorrent. So it should work now as well.
- It is impossible to run apt-get install python-libtorrent without sudo.
- Libtorrent cannot be installed via PIP, since a PIP package for Linux simply does not exist.

What am I doing wrong here?
