Using OSX 10.9.2
Just getting to grips with virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper. I am having an issue where the environments I create with virtualenv are visible in both terminal and finder, but environments that I create with virtualenvwrapper are not.
Here are the steps I take in terminal.
virtualenv virt_env/virt1 --no-site-packages
Successfully creates a virtualenv called virt1
source virt1/bin/activate
Activates the virtualenv
(virt1)localhost:virt_env brendan$
I have several of these virtual environments set up and working and I am able to install packages in each, as I would expect. I am able to switch between them and remove them as necessary. I am also able to see them in Finder and in Terminal.
However when I create virtual environments using virtualenvwrapper it appears that I am able to work with them but I am not able to see them.
Here are the steps I take with virtualenvwrapper
localhost:~ brendan$ mkvirtualenv virt_env/virt4
New python executable in virt_env/virt4/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip...done.
(virt4)localhost:~ brendan$
I am able to work with this e.g.
(virt4)localhost:~ brendan$ sudo easy_install yolk
And I am able to deactivate and reactivate it. e.g.
deactivate
localhost:~ brendan$
workon virt_env/virt4
(virt4)localhost:~ brendan$
But when I go to finder I am only able to see the environments (virt1, virt2, virt3) that I created via virtualenv and not the environments (virt4) that I created using virtualenvwrapper
I am using these tutorials
Make sure that you've defined your WORKON_HOME environment variable to tell virtualenvwrapper where to put your environments (see the documentation)
