Set python version for each virtualenv using virtu

Question

Using virtualenv I can set the python version to a specific virtual environment via th -p option. This means for different environments I can set different python versions. Is there a similar possibility for virtualenvwrapper? Please note I dont want to set a system wide version used in ALL virtual environments. I would like to have the flexibility it to set the python version on virtual environment level.

Answer 1

I've found you can also do the same for virtualenvwrapper projects like so: mkproject -p python2 my_venv_project. Also, Make sure the project name comes last

Answer 2

You should be able to use the -p option when creating a virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper to specify the version: mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 my_env.
