activate is a bit of a kludge, though it seems easy enough to just have multiple shells open if activate screws with certain tasks. I'm curious though, how do you switch virtualenvs? I can envision creating wrapper scripts that only pollute the environment for a single process (running it in a subshell or whatever), is that what you are doing? I have to admit I haven't used virtualenv a whole lot, so I'm interested in hearing what you seasoned old timers do ;^) -Casey _______________________________________________ Repoze-dev mailing list Repoze-dev@lists.repoze.org http://lists.repoze.org/listinfo/repoze-dev
