Virtualenvwrapper: no module named virtualenvwrapper

I'm trying to get virtualenvwrapper running. I install it with:

sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

I edited the .bashrc like this:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

When I try to run "source ~/.bashrc" I get this error:

/usr/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper
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.

I installed pip, python and virtualenv in the following directories:

which python
/usr/bin/python

which pip
/usr/bin/pip

which virtualenv
/usr/local/bin/virtualenv

What am I doing wrong?

I think you need to 

pip3 install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper

and add this to your ~/.bashrc file

 export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3

This is because your virtualenvwrapper is pointing to python3. I just resolved mine now. Thanks to this help

You need to source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh in your .bashrc (you don't need to export it).

Your error happens because you installed virtualenv for Python 2.7, but you try use it with Python 3. Use pip3 to install Python 3 packages on multi-version system.

pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper
pip3 install virtualenv virtualenvwrapper
