Use a framework build of Python with virtualenv

frameworkpython

#!/bin/bash

# On OSX, two different types of Python builds exist: a regular build and
# a framework build. In order to interact correctly with some GUI
# frameworks, you need to use a framework build. Unfortuantly, on OSX
# virtualenv always uses a regular build.
#
# The best known workaround, borrowed from the WX wiki, is to use the non-
# virtualenv Python along with the PYTHONHOME environment variable.
# See: http://matplotlib.org/faq/virtualenv_faq.html#osx

if [ -z "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]; then
    echo -e "\033[0;31mCould not find an activated virtualenv (required).\033[0m"
    exit 1
fi

# non-virtualenv Python executable to use
PYTHON=/usr/local/bin/python

# run Python with the virtualenv set as Python's HOME
PYTHONHOME=$VIRTUAL_ENV exec $PYTHON "$@"
