Getting a python virtual env error after installing Lion

Question

I haven\'t touched python and virtualenv in a while, and I believe I setup my MBP with virtualenv and pip, but have totally forgotten how this stuff works.

My solution on Ubuntu 14.04 where I had installed python3.4 was to add this to the ~/.bashrc file so that the tail of it looked liked this:

#Setup virtual envwrapper for python in case default doesn't work
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.4
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON

# needed for virtualenvwrapper
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/projects
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

When I did pip freeze on regular python which was 2.7 it showed packages installed correctly but still complained. Even though it complained the virtualenv did work.

I have later removed the errors by making sure that all the files in the ~/.virtualenvs belong to the user and group rather than a smattering of them to root. Like this:

bash cd ~ sudo chown -R ubuntu:ubuntu .virtualenvs
