Today I am going to explain how to install virtualenv and install python in it in linux
Sometimes you would have to install & complie Python from source and then create venv from that. These are steps for Python 2.7.2:
mkdir ~/src
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.2/Python-2.7.2.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-2.7.2.tar.gz
cd Python-2.7.2
mkdir ~/.localpython
./configure --prefix=/home//.localpython
make
make install
cd ~/src
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.5.2.tar.gz#md5=fbcefbd8520bb64bc24a560c6019a73c
tar -zxvf virtualenv-1.5.2.tar.gz
cd virtualenv-1.5.2/
~/.localpython/bin/python setup.py install
virtualenv ve -p /home//.localpython/bin/python2.7
source activate
