I found the solution on a Google group.

It seems that /usr/local/bin/virtualenv was not updated so when you open it, you see a reference to the old virtualenv 1.9.1 when a newer version has been installed on your system.

So, you just need to open /usr/local/bin/virtualenv and replace it with:

#!/usr/local/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import re
import sys
from virtualenv import main

if __name__ == '__main__':
sys.argv[0] = re.sub(r'(-script\.pyw|\.exe)?$', '', sys.argv[0])
sys.exit(main())

And that worked for me!
