Upgrading Mac OS X to Lion and dealing with virtualenv

I happened to have successfully upgraded my Snow Leopard to Lion. It looks nicer, softer and so forth. But I depend on my MacBook Pro in my work and have to have everything working.

Actually after upgrade everything were broken: python did not work properly, system paths were set in their defaults. So it was absolute mess.

First, as I learned it from Snow Leopard, I have downloaded new XCode from Mac App Store. It quote big and it took all night (while I was sleeping) for downloading. In the morning I installed and all became better but one. Virtual environments were still spoiled and did not work.

After a few tries and researches I came up with the following:

sudo easy_install pip # it installs new (or even) pip version
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

After those commands all get working.
