virtualenv-auto-activate with support for zsh and virtualenvwrapper
#!/bin/bash
# virtualenv-auto-activate.sh
#
# Installation:
# Add this line to your .bashrc or .bash-profile:
#
# source /path/to/virtualenv-auto-activate.sh
#
# Go to your project folder, run "virtualenv .venv", so your project folder
# has a .venv folder at the top level, next to your version control directory.
# For example:
# .
# ├── .git
# │ ├── HEAD
# │ ├── config
# │ ├── description
# │ ├── hooks
# │ ├── info
# │ ├── objects
# │ └── refs
# └── .venv
# ├── bin
# ├── include
# └── lib
#
# The virtualenv will be activated automatically when you enter the directory.
# Check for virtualenvwrapper
if type workon >/dev/null 2>&1; then

what would one need to change in this script to make the venv automatically activate after running virtualenv .venv? Right now, I need to cd out of and back into the project directory to activate it.

If you use my fork, https://github.com/RobertDeRose/virtualenv-autodetect.git you just have to do cd .
