Virtualenv uses wrong python, even though it is first in $PATH

by

My problem was that i recently moved my project with virtualenv to another location, due to this activate script had wrong VIRTUAL_ENV path.

$ cat path_to_your_env/bin/activate

... # some declarations

VIRTUAL_ENV="/path_to_your_env/bin/python"  # <-- THIS LINE
export VIRTUAL_ENV

... # some declarations

To fix this, just update VIRTUAL_ENV in activate script.

Also you maybe need to fix first line of your bin/pip to link to real python path.
