I forgot to mention I am using Linux (Ubuntu 12.04).
I am working my way through a book about breezypythongui which uses

repetitive task.
In that case you should put these commands in your .bashrc file so it
gets
set up as your user's default. (The .bashrc file is somewhat like DOS's
"autoexec.bat" file, if you're familiar with this, except each user has
their own .bashrc.) You can also create a shell script that does this
for
you. (You can install "virtualenv wrapper" which gives you some further
commands to make working with virtualenvs easier.)

I realize I could have used a shell script but since I was working with
Python I thought I might learn some more Python by trying to use it. As
it turns out, I did learn quite a bit through this discussion.
Thanks for the pointer to virtualenv wrapper.

I've worked on this a little more. If I create a file like:
#!/usr/bin/python
import os, subprocess
subprocess.Popen(args=["gnome-terminal",
"--working-directory=/home/jfb/Documents/Prog/Python/breezygui"])
and execute it, it will take me to the correct directory. Once there if
I type in 'source bin/activate' I will get a virtualenv. However I can't
figure out how to do it from my script.
I have tried adding "--command=source bin/active" to args=
but then I get this error:
There was an error creating the child process for this terminal
Failed to execute child process "source" (No such file or directory)
To check if I could even use "--command=", I added "--command=python"
and I got a python session.
Could some one tell me what I need to do to issue the command to setup
virtualenv?
Thanks, Jim
