Hello Sandy, Ik rechecked the effect of the different commands on our virtualenv installation running on debian testing.
As can be seen /usr/bin/env python2 is using the system python, even when running from a virtualenv. I think you are using a much newer version of virtualenv, that is creating the symbolic links you are referring to. My point is that a lot of existing - even relatively recent and up to date - installations, do not have those symlinks. rportier@vanaheim:~$ virtualenv --python=python2.7 test_usr_bin_env Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2.7 New python executable in test_usr_bin_env/bin/python2.7 Also creating executable in test_usr_bin_env/bin/python Installing distribute.............................................................................................................................................................................................done.
