How to prevent accidentally calling pip when I am not in a virtualenv? I wrote the following script called pip and added it to my ~/bin (which is before pip in my $PATH ): # This script makes sure I don't accidentally install pip without virtualenv # This script requires $PIP to be set to the absolute path of pip to execute pip # if $PIP is not set, it will write a message if [ -z "$PIP" ]; then echo "you are not in a virtual env" echo "use virtual env or" # propose the second item in $PATH echo " export PIP="`type -ap pip|sed -n 2p` echo "to cleanup use" echo " unset PIP" else # execute pip exec $PIP "$@" fi Is there a better way?
