I’ve just installed virtualenv (with Python 2.7.2) on my Mac, and I followed the guide here: http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html

But I now get the following errors when I start up my shell every time:

I don’t know if it is affecting this problem, but I am using ZSH.

I tried to install stevedore through pip (sudo pip install stevedore), but I get the following error:

sudo sh setuptools-0.6c11-py2.7.egg

I manually installed setuptools as I couldn’t install anything through pip without it.

What has gone wrong here and how can i fix it? The internet doesn’t seem to have many cases of the error with stevedore. I feel rather stuck at the moment!

Many thanks!

    Based on the error you are getting, it looks like you are having the following error: install glitch when using pip + virtualenv.

    The issue is created when using the -distribute switch. The fix is (without re-running virtualenv with –distribute):

    source bin/activate
    wget http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
    python distribute_setup.py
