PyEnv looking for virtualenvwrapper on system Python 2.7.9

I have python 2.7.9 installed system wide.

Then I've installed virtualenvwrapper on that python version.

After that, I've installed pyenv, then I've installed python 3.3.1

pyenv install 3.3.1

Hashed the shims of that version, exported $PATH variables of pyenv into my bash_profile file (I'm on Debian Wheezy).

Then, I need to run that python version 3.3.1 to work on a Django project.

BUT, I also need virtualenvwrapper installed on THAT python version, which is 3.3.1 not 2.7.9

But when 3.3.1 activated, I try to run pip install virtualenvwrapper to install it on Python3, but it keeps looking for the system wide version so I cannot install it, this is the entire traceback:

user@debian:~/python_examples/orthosie$ pyenv local
3.3.1
user@debian:~/python_examples/orthosie$ pip install virtualenvwrapper
You are using pip version 6.0.6, however version 7.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): virtualenvwrapper in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): virtualenv in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from virtualenvwrapper)
user@debian:~/python_examples/orthosie$

What am I doing wrong here? Maybe I can run it from system wide virtualenvwrapper?

Thanks in advance!

I think you have to set the python version globaly using pip, since it is invoked in one of the /bin dirs where you haven't changed your python version.

You can see where pip lies on your system using $ which pip

To do so use $ pyenv global 3.3.1

When using virtualenv you can specify which version you want to use in combination with pyenv via the command: $ virtenv -p /path/to/pyenv/versions/3.3.1/python to ensure that you will get the right version - alternativly you can use the pyenv wrapper for virtualenv
