please help me use python in virtualenv on linux mint 18


hi,

Creating a virtual environment with python3.4 on Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus

Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial Xerus) has been released last week and it ships with python version 3.5. Which is great, because it offers some new features for asynchronous programming. Unfortunately, one library (PySide) that I need for the superb jupyter qtconsole doesn’t support python 3.5 yet. Thus I needed a virtual environment with python 3.4:

Install dependencies:

sudo apt install build-essential checkinstall libreadline-gplv2-dev \
libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev \
libbz2-dev openssl
Get python source code:

mkdir -p $HOME/opt
cd $HOME/opt
curl -O https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3....thon-3.4.5.tgz
tar xzvf Python-3.4.5.tgz
cd Python-3.4.5
Configure & install

./configure --enable-shared --prefix=/usr/local LDFLAGS="-Wl,--rpath=/usr/local/lib"
sudo make altinstall

// got the following at end of output //

which virtualenv

/usr/bin/virtualenv

?????????????????????????????

Ok so i'm a total newb to linux seems i've gotten things a bit confused. Frankencommand approach not good. What are we looking at here? Can someone please tell me based on the above what i need to tweak or add or remove so that i can work with python 3.4 using virtualenv? The plan is if I do it this way then at some point I can use a later or earlier build of python based on my needs in order to program what I want to program. Please don't say "Well why do you need to work with python build xx.xx.xxxx?" Maybe it's me (yeah admittedly i can be dense at times) but i could not find a single well explained tutorial for doing this with these versions.

Thank You for any assistance you might be able to give.
