I'm trying to create a virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper
, but when I use mkvirtualenv
I get the following :
ERROR: virtualenvwrapper could not find virtualenv in your path
I assumed it was a PYTHONPATH problem.
But if I do a pip show virtualenv
I get the following :

And here is my PYTHONPATH :
/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/bin:/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/bin:/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages:/Volumes/Data/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages:~/.brew/Cellar
It contains the directory containing virtualenv!
(i-e : /Volumes/Data/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages )
My ~/.zshrc contains :
export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
source $HOME"/Library/Python/2.7/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh"
EDIT : virtualenvwrapper.sh is written in bash, perhaps should I check my PATH instead of my PYTHONPATH ?
So, what could the problem be? How could I fix it?
Thank you in advance for your help.
I finally found out what the problem was :
virtualenvwrapper.sh is written in BASH and not in Python. So virtualenv is called from a shell (zsh). I didn't have to bother about my PYTHONPATH, but about my PATH (I was already able to import virtualenv from my python shell anyway).
I just added the correct directory to my PATH and everything worked fine (the directory containing the virtualenv
executable, i-e /Volumes/Data/nfs/zfs-student-3/users/2013_paris/vmonteco/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
which isn't included in my PATH
by default despite being the directory virtualenv
and other pip-installed tools was in).
