Basically you need to have python 2.6 running, on linux this is fairly simple, on mac it may require some work. The eternal struggle on a mac is upgrading / installing linux based applications (fink, mac ports, have grown up to solve this problem) We like Homebrew, as the installs are non-destructive to the operating system, and localized to specific users.

Linux: | |||

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs | |||
export PIP_VIRTUALENV_BASE=$WORKON_HOME | |||
