This occurred when I updated to Mac OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard. I had to re-install brew beforehand too. Hopefully you ran the freeze command for your project with pip.

To resolve, you have to update the paths that the virtual environment points to.

• Install a version of python with brew:

brew install python

• Re-install virtualenvwrapper.

pip install --upgrade virtualenvwrapper

• Removed the old virtual environment:

rmvirtualenv old_project

• Create a new virtual environment:

mkvirtualenv new_project

• Work on new virtual environment

workon new_project

• Use pip to install the requirements for the new project.

pip install -r requirements.txt

This should leave the project as it was before.
