Question

Use different Python version with virtualenv

Answer 1

+9 A:

Just use the -p flag when creating your virtualenv instance to specify the Python executable you want to use, eg:

virtualenv -p python2.6

does this have to be only the binary?

I figured I'd mention that this works for virtualenvwrappers too: mkvirtualenv -p python2.6 env

Answer 2

+4 A:

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.6 myvirtualenv

This works well for my under Ubuntu 9.10 (though the platform probably doesn't matter). Looks like you added an extra whitespace in the command between python and 2.6 that should not be there, however. virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.6 myvirtualenv
