Problem with virtualenv in Mac OS X

Question

I\'ve installed virtualenv via pip and get this error after creating a new environment:

selenium:~ auser$ virtualenv new  
New pyt         


        

Answer 1

I got the same problem and I found that it happens when you do not specify the python executable name properly. So for python 2x, for example:

virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python mysite

But for python 3.6 you need to specify the executable name like python3.6

virtualenv --system-site-packages -p python3.6 mysite
