122- A note about Pip and Virtualenv
123- -------------------------------
124-
125- By now it should be clear that using virtual environments is a great way to keep
126- your development environment clean and keeping different projects' requirements
127- separate.
128-
129- When you start working on many different projects, it can be hard to remember to
130- activate the related virtual environment when you come back to a specific project.
131- As a result of this, it is very easy to install packages globally while thinking
132- that you are actually installing the package for the virtual environment of the
133- project. Over time this can result in a messy global package list.
134-
135- In order to make sure that you install packages to your active virtual environment
136- when you use ``pip install ``, consider adding the following two lines to your
137- ``~/.bashrc `` file:
138-
139- .. code-block :: console
140- export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=true
141-
142- After saving this change and sourcing the ``~/.bashrc `` file with ``source ~/.bashrc ``,
143- pip will no longer let you install packages if you are not in a virtual environment.
144- If you try to use ``pip install `` outside of a virtual environment pip will
145- gently remind you that an activated virtual environment is needed to install
146- packages.
147-
148- .. code-block :: console
149- $ pip install requests
150- Could not find an activated virtualenv (required).
151-
152- You will of course need to install some packages globally and this can be accomplished
153- by adding the following to your ``~/.bashrc `` file:
154-
155- .. code-block :: console
156- gpip() {
157- PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV="" pip "$@"
158- }
159-
160- After saving the changes and sourcing your ``~/.bashrc `` file you can now install
161- packages globally by running ``gpip install ``. You can change the name of the
162- function to anything you like, just keep in mind that you will have to use that
163- name when trying install packages globally with pip.
