Use different Python version with virtualenv

Question

I have a Debian system currently running with python 2.5.4. I got virtualenv properly installed, everything is working fine. Is there a possibility that I can use a virtuale

Answer 1

On the mac I use pyenv and virtualenvwrapper. I had to create a new virtualenv. You need homebrew which I'll assume you've installed if you're on a mac, but just for fun:

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"


brew install pyenv
pyenv install 2.7.10
pyenv global 2.7.10
export PATH=/Users/{USERNAME}/.pyenv/versions/2.7.10/bin:$PATH
mkvirtualenv -p ~/.pyenv/versions/2.7.10/bin/python  {virtual_env_name}

I also froze my requirements first so i could simply reinstall in the new virtualenv with:

pip install -r requirements.txt
