On root account:
1. sudo apt-get install python-setuptools

3.

virtualenv ve_msw
New python executable in ve_msw/bin/python
Installing setuptools............done.
Installing pip...............done.

4. easy_install pip (I could also have done "pip install virtualenv" or "easy_install virtualenvwrapper"

5. pip install virtualenvwrapper

On user account:
6. mkdir ~/.virtualenvs

7. Add to end of ~/.bashrc:

export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
source /usr/local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

$ mkvirtualenv ve_msw

virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /home/haoqili/.virtualenvs/ve_msw/bin/predeactivate
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /home/haoqili/.virtualenvs/ve_msw/bin/postdeactivate
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /home/haoqili/.virtualenvs/ve_msw/bin/preactivate
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /home/haoqili/.virtualenvs/ve_msw/bin/postactivate
virtualenvwrapper.user_scripts creating /home/haoqili/.virtualenvs/ve_msw/bin/get_env_details

9. Added to ~/.virtualenvs/postmkvirtualenv

proj_name=$(echo $VIRTUAL_ENV|awk -F'/' '{print $NF}')
mkdir $HOME/Projects/$proj_name
add2virtualenv $HOME/Projects/$proj_name
cd $HOME/Projects/$proj_name
easy_install readline ipython
pip install -e git://github.com/jbalogh/check.git#egg=check Jinja2==2.3.1 \
    MySQL-python==1.2.3c1 lxml==2.2.6 PIL

10. Now I can call workon ve_msw

MSW already have playdoh set up at the very beginning
11. To set up where virtualenvwrapper's "workon" takes us to add this to

cd ~/path/to/mswdir
