Virtualenv is installing with wrong version of Python

Question

I recently have started learning python and have run into an issue.

When I run python on my mac without virtualenv, the version number is Python 2.7.5. Unfortunately, when I go into my virtualenv, and run Python, the version number is Python 2.6.1.

I tried, creating another virtualenv using:

virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python2.7 newdev

but got: The executable /usr/bin/python2.7 (from --python=/usr/bin/python2.7) does not exist

You have to specify the executable, not the whole path. For example:

mkvirtualenv --python=python3 mynewenv
