Python Power Tools: virtualenv

In this series of videos, I'll introduce you to several tools that you can add to your arsenal to become a better, more productive, programmer. We'll begin with virtualenv, which allows you to create isolated development environments for installing and upgrading software, without needing to worry about overrides or dependency issues.

Very informational and precise. One suggestion though, a little bigger terminal window would make the commands more easily readable. Thanks!

More of such well explained and informative tutorials, please! Thanks a lot!

This is superb information; just what I've been looking for.

This was really helpful tutorial. Thanks. BTW I didn't know about pip freeze.

i noticed that at 4:22 you typed 'sh-mode' and it syntax highlighted the file for you. How did you do that?

Hey, this was a great video! Do you think you could update it as both distribute and setup tools are now deprecated?

This was a really helpful video. I just wanted to ask you a question. What if I want to create a virtual environment with all the system packages but with python 3. I tried ''virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages foo'. But it doen't create the required environment.

When I do
$source activate
I get the expected prompt, like this
(env) $
But when I type python and
>>>import sys;print (sys.executable)
it prints out "/usr/bin/python", so I am still using the system python binary. What am I doing wrong?

[FinAcharya]

Can you please summarise what all can we do using virtualenvwrapper?

For those having issues in Ubuntu 14.04, the terminal command for installing shown in this video ($ python virtualenv.py foo ) is outdated.
Use this instead:
