Here's an example:

 $ mkdir ~/var ~/var/venv  # where I keep my virtualenvs
 $ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3 --system-site-packages ~/var/venv/3
 $ ~/var/venv/3/bin/python3    # invokes the virtualenv python3
 $ ~/var/venv/3/bin/pip3       # invokes the virtualenv pip3
 $ ln -s ~/var/venv/3/bin/python3 ~/bin/.  # make these my default
 $ ln -s ~/var/venv/3/bin/pip3 ~/bin/.

From this point on "pip3" should execute your own $HOME/bin/pip3, which
comes from the virtualenv and installs in ~/var/venv/3/lib/...

Can you do the same with the standard library 'venv' module? I
generally recommend and prefer that over the third-party 'virtualenv',
which achieves what it does via a series of hacks.

Probably? Haven't tried. I thought the venv module was essentially virtualenv's innards presented as a module, but have never tested it.

Do I need to retire my "venv" shell script (convenience wrapper for the virtualenv command)?
