 ##Clone or Copy a virtualenv##



 The virtualenvwrapper documentation declares that its feature set includes "Wrappers for managing your virtual environments (create, delete, copy)."  But I could not find the copy command anywhere. After fruitless for the command I figred that well designed software usually has a predictable answer:

    $cpvirtualenv Env1 Env2

 So that's the ticket.  Where Env1 is your existing venv and Env2 is the new one you wish to start.  So I riff off of Patrick Altman's handy [setup instructions] for new Django projects to create a local stub (where I have swapped in the dev release of Django 1.5) and add utilities like South. Starting new projects is now as simple as . . .

    $cpvirtualenv django15stub newproject
