Can't find virtualenv in path even though its there

问题

I'm trying to set up Django. I have Python 3.6 installed, and I installed virtualenvwrapper using pip3.

Here is what my bash profile looks like:

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
fi

export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/virtualenv"

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/python3.6
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
source /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

Every time I run

$ mkvirtualenv my_django_env

I get

ERROR: virtualenvwrapper could not find virtualenv in your path

I cannot tell you how stable solution this is going to be for others. What worked for me is adding Lazy Loading which is described as an alternative initialization script. The error I was getting is that

mkvirtualenv is not in your PATH

when I tried to fire up a virtual env. Adding below script to my .zshrc file helped.

VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh

Please also check this out for the whole process of installing and creating virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper pacakages.
