Activating a VirtualEnv using a shell script doesn't seem to work

Question

I tried activating a VirtualEnv through a shell script like the one below but it doesn\'t seem to work,

#!/bin/sh
source ~/.virtualenvs/pinax-env/bin/activa

On Mac OS X your proposals seems not working.

I have done it this way. I'am not very happy with solution, but share it anyway here and hope, that maybe somebody will suggest the better one:

In activate.sh I have

echo 'source /Users/andi/.virtualenvs/data_science/bin/activate'

I give execution permissions by: chmod +x activate.sh

And I execute this way:

`./activate.sh`
