Edit Question
Title
Body
I haven't used my python/virtual environments in a while, but I do have virtualenvironment wrapper installed also. My question is, in the doc page it says to do this: export WORKON_HOME=~/Envs $ mkdir -p $WORKON_HOME $ source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh $ mkvirtualenv env1 I simply did this at my prompt: source /usr/local/bin/virutalenvwrapper.sh And now I can list and select an environment by doing: >workon >workon envtest1 My question is, since this works for me, I'm confused why I should be creating an environmental variable WORKON_HOME and point it to the ~/Envs folder? What does that do and how come mine works fine w/o it? I don't have that /Envs folder either (I know the script creates it). Reference: http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
