Sharing Python virtualenv environments

I have a Python virtualenv (created with virtualenvwerapper) in one user account. I would like to use it from another user account on the same host.

How can I do this? How can I set up virtual environments so as to be available to any user on the host? (Primarily Linux / Debian but also Mac OSX.)

Thanks.

Solution

  • Put it in a user-neutral directory, and make it group-readable.

    For instance, for libraries, I use /srv/http/share/ for sharing code across web applications.

    You could use /usr/local/share/ for normal applications.
