Virtualenvwrapper requires additional python packages to run: https://bitbucket.org/dhellmann/virtualenvwrapper/src/002a0ccdcc7aea6ecee76685425bccbbe1b45bfa/setup.py?at=3.6#cl-147 Packages virtualenv-clone and stevedore aren't provided by Gentoo yet. Because of that, virtualenvwrapper won't work properly and there's an error message when entering vew-enabled shell: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenvwrapper/hook_loader.py", line 16, in <module> from stevedore import ExtensionManager ImportError: No module named stevedore virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks. If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader, check that virtualenv has been installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is set properly. Temporary fix is to install those two packages by hand as root: su -c 'pip install virtualenv-clone stevedore' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install virtualenvwrapper-3.6 2. Open terminal 3. Observe errors Actual Results: Python traceback in terminal, loss of virtualenvwrapper functionality Expected Results: No trackeback in terminal, working virtualenvwrapper
