I have a new installation of Debian Jessie, with Python 2.7 and 3.4 installed.
I want to use Python 3.4 by default for most things, so I want virtualenv to create Python 3.4 virtualenvs unless I ask it to otherwise. It turns out that this seems to be inordinately complex. The best solution I have come up with is to alias virtualenv to 'virtualenv -p python3.5', which seems really ugly and clunky. Then I discover things like <http://askubuntu.com/questions/603935/pyvenv-vs-venv-vs-python-virtualenv-vs-virtualenv-and-python-3> and realise it's not just me, it really is a nasty mess and nobody seems to understand what's going on.
