With regard to the above, if the recommended way to use pip is to use it after calling virtualenv, then what is the recommended way to invoke/install virtualenv for use from a global Python (e.g. from a Python 3.2 installed via MacPorts). Before, I would have installed virtualenv by invoking pip with the -E flag. But by the above that approach is deprecated. Also, does it matter whether virtualenv is run from Python 2 or Python 3? In particular, can virtualenv run from both Python 2.x and Python 3.x create virtual environments based on both Python 2.x and Python 3.x?
