After a restart of my machine, I can see virtualenv is failing to setup when my login scripts are invoking it.
My .bashrc contains
export WORKON_HOME=~/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh
And the error looks like
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/virtualenvwrapper/hook_loader.py", line 12, in <module>

virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks. If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader, check that virtualenv has been installed for VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is set properly.
As far as I can tell, the items alluded to in the error message look okay,
ytestpythonapp$ls /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

I'm fairly new to Python but have had virualenv working for a couple weeks now over many restarts, so I'm pretty puzzled by all of this. Any pointers much appreciated.
