Installation issues with virtualenvwrapper on Debian and Ubuntu

[eamanu]

When I do:

pip install -r requirements.txt

and install ipython[notebook]

I have this problem when I open a terminal in ubuntu and Debian.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
"main", fname, loader, pkg_name)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code

virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks.

If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenvwrapper has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly.

This error happen twice in a Deban virtual machine and in an Ubuntu

I solve this doing:

pip install setuptools==33.1.1

Hi @eamanu, thanks for the report and update on the fix! Perhaps we might need to update the README for Debian/Ubuntu users?
