Can't create virtual env with pip in Ubuntu - No module named urllib3

I am having the following problem when trying to create a virtual env on Ubuntu:
$ mkvirtualenv test
New python executable in /home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/test/bin/python

Complete output from command /home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/test/bin/python - setuptools pip wheel:

Any ideas on how to fix this? I already try this, worked fine, but using mkvirtualenv still no good.

This seems to be an issue specific to using Anaconda. You can create a virtualenv with the default python:
mkvirtualenv test -p /usr/bin/python

How can I create a virtualenv in python?

I have 2 versions of python - osx's version and the anaconda version.
I am trying to use my system python and the virtualenv pip package to do this.
first:
Alexs-MacBook-Pro-6:kartograph-test alex$ which python
/usr/local/bin/python
Alexs-MacBook-Pro-6:kartograph-test alex$ which virtualenv
/usr/local/bin/virtualenv
Alexs-MacBook-Pro-6:kartograph-test alex$ which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
So these guys are all in the same place. Additionally, here is my PATH
Alexs-MacBook-Pro-6:kartograph-test alex$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/Users/alex/anaconda2/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
Now I here is the command I run as well as the output:
Alexs-MacBook-Pro-6:kartograph-test alex$ virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 venv
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2.7

Im not sure which one I should be using or which error is more avoidable. All I want is 1 virtualenv that uses python 2.7. Can anyone help me make one?

rm -rf venv
virtualenv venv
You broke the venv folder during your first try, and the second try cannot create because the folder exists.
Since the proper python version is in the path, you don't need to specify it.

This is logged as an issue with the recently released virtualenv 1.11. I had similar issues on Windows with this release.
I believe installing virtualenv 1.10.1 will let you continue working until this issue is addressed.

As timborden said in a comment: version 1.11.2 (of 2014-01-26) fixes this.
"Fixed easy_install installed virtualenvs by updated pip to 1.5.2"
See changelog at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv

problems with using virtualenv - source command and file not found?

I've been following this tutorial:
https://python-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
when i type this into terminal:
virtualenv venv
A folder pops up in my directory, as expected, but there is no 'activate' file. only python, python2, and python2.7
I tried this only to get command not found.
AJs-MacBook-Pro-4:petrarch AJ$ source venv/bin/python2.7
-bash: ????: command not found
Sorry! please help this newb.
When I type in virtualenv venv again, i get this:
AJs-MacBook-Pro-4:petrarch AJ$ virtualenv venv

You don't have setuptools installed,
Install it from here
if you upgraded from lion to mountain lion, the python install is broken due to some changes in the file-system, ideally you should install command line tools from xcode, then python from python website, then setuptools from python website and then pip via easy_install, everything will work afterwards.

Problem solved:
Xcode 4 doesn't automatically install the command line tools.
Basically, install Xcode, go into Preferences and then Downloads and install "Command Line Tools". It works now.
:)
