I want to be able to reach source code from my virtualenv library via ctags but to be able to do this I need to know which virtualenv is currently active, so for example, I have this code in my .vimrc which appends django to my ctags index:

nnoremap <F7> :!ctags -R --python-kinds=-i -a ~/.virtualenvs/MYPROJECT/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/*<CR>

Instead of hardcoding the path I want it to do something like:

nnoremap <F7> :!ctags -R --python-kinds=-i -a CURRENT_PROJECT_PACKAGES_PATH/django/*

so I can index packages from the current project I am working on.

    You could use $VIRTUAL_ENV to get to your library, so it’d be something like this

    nnoremap <F7> :!ctags -R --python-kinds=-i -a $VIRTUAL_ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/*
