在现有目录中创建 virtualenv 而不创建“本地”目录

Question

I'm trying something simple. I clone a repository and then I want to create a virtualenv in it:

hg clone ssh://hg@bitbucket.org/neves/repo site
virtualenv site

When I run the command to create a Python virtualenv in an exiting project, a directory named local is created. All the contents of the "site" dir are copied to this local dir. I don't want this behaviour. Am I doing something wrong? How do I create a virtualenv without creating this local dir?

I'm using virtualenv 1.10.1

Answer 1

Not sure if it is still helpful, but you can do this.

virtualenv .

Install was fine with me.

Answer 2

This just happens on some platforms (like Ubuntu) and is necessary because a virtualenv imitates the machine's installation, and local is part of that. Just add it to your SCM's ignore facility (eg .gitignore ).
