I have two different python virtual environment systems, one is anaconda
and the other is virtualenv
. (I need to keep both to suit different develop environment).
I installed separate ipython for each virtual env. The problem is that ipython seems to be virtual environment aware, it will automatically load libs from $VIRTUAL_ENV
.
For example, here are my two different virtual environments
venv
, created byvirtualenv
:virtualenv /home/<user>/venv
. And I set$VIRTUAL_ENV
by addingexport VIRTUAL_ENV='/home/shao/venv'
in.bashrc
. Also I installed some required package in this environment bypip
p2
, created byanaconda
:conda create -n p2 python=2
.
The $PATH
after activating p2
is:
(p2) shao@T420s:~$ echo $PATH
/home/shao/anaconda3/envs/p2/bin:/home/shao/anaconda3/bin:/home...
I am definitely sure that ipython
binaray is at /home/shao/anaconda3/envs/p2/bin
.
However, the ipython sys.path
for p2 is:
(p2) shao@T420s:~$ ipython
/home/shao/anaconda3/envs/p2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py:724: UserWarning: Attempting to work in a virtualenv. If you encounter problems, please install IPython inside the virtualenv.

As you can see, ipython interpreter gives me warnings and the sys.path
contains libs from venv
, which are prior libs from p2
.
After some google searches, I noticed that recent ipython version is virtual environment aware, so that it will automatically load these libs from venv
.
I noticed two things:
- python interpreter of
p2
will not be affected byvenv
- If I RESET
$VIRTUAL_ENV
, ipython interpreter ofp2
will not be affected byvenv
.
Now the question is that is there any graceful way (keep $VIRTUAL_ENV
) to disable ipython's initialization behavior, so that $VIRTUAL_ENV
libs will not be loaded?
Thanks.
