Setting Up virtualenv with python2.6

Question

I'm setting up a virtualenv, but it seems to be using python2.5 by default.

I'm using this command

virtualenv newenv --no-site-packages -p python

because the python found on my path is python2.6. I believe this to be true because when I type python and go into the shell, it tells me it's 2.6. When I create the virtualenv with the above command and launch the shell, it tells me I'm in 2.5.

Anyone else have this issue?

No, I don't see this behaviour. Why not just specify the 2.6 binary in your -p option? — ire_and_curses, May 06 '10 at 22:36
