Trouble using virtualenv to create Django app for Heroku

I'm trying to find the instructions here to launch a Django project on Heroku. I don't get very far. When I try to create the virtualenv I get the following error:

virtualenv --no-site-packages hellodjango

New python executable in hellodjango/bin/python
ERROR: The executable hellodjango/bin/python is not functioning
ERROR: It thinks sys.prefix is u'/Library/Frameworks/EPD64.framework/Versions/6.3' (should     be '/Users/username/Sites/hellodjango')
ERROR: virtualenv is not compatible with this system or executable

I've actually never used virtualenv before so could be doing something very simple wrong. I think it's pointing to the Enthought python installation, though I thought that I had switched the default python to MacPort's installation.

Any thoughts?

There are a few similar questions on SO that I found when searching for that last error message you list.

One thing to try is specifying /path/to/python virtualenv --no-site-packages hellodjango This would force virtualenv to use the MacPort (or other) installed version.
