problems with python and virtualenvwrapper after updating: No module named virtualenvwrapper

python, virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper

Solution

You need to install them under python 2.7.9 by specifying the path to correct version of pip to be used

/usr/local/bin/pip install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

otherwise, when running `pip install` the sytem will use the default one (i.e. the one located at `/usr/bin/pip`)

Problem

I run python 2.7.6 with virtualenv, virtualenvwrapper under ubuntu 14.04. now i have installed python 2.7.9 from source. the new python interpreter is now located under `/usr/local/bin` but it seems the old interpreter is also located under `/usr/bin`. if I run python shell it shows up python2.7.9. but if I use `mkvirtualenv venv` I am getting the following message. New python executable in venv/bin/python Installing setuptools, pip...done. Blockquote /usr/local/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper old `.bashrc` (with working configuration using python 2.7.6 interpreter) ``` # virtualenv-wrappper path export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/local/bin/virtualenv source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh ``` new `.bashrc` (with failure configuration) ``` # virtualenv-wrappper path export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV=/usr/local/bin/virtualenv source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh ``` with the new `.baschrc` I type in `source .bashrc` and get the following output. /usr/local/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks. If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader, check that virtualenvwrapper has been installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python and that PATH is set properly. And I have also tried `which -a python`: output: ``` /usr/local/bin/python /usr/bin/python ``` I want to use python 2.7.9 with virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. so what I have to do to get this running ?
