[20:55:38] <stbatduke> Hello #pypa! When manually installing virtualenv, using "locally from source" steps on the page http://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/virtualenv.html#installation ... what is the argument "myVE" ?

[21:41:35] <tos9> stbatduke: The name of your virtualenv

[21:49:50] <stbatduke> thanks tos9 !

[21:50:06] <stbatduke> So I am using LFS (linux from scratch) and this is why I am trying to install from source

[21:50:49] <stbatduke> But when I try to install virtualenv and pip I cannot figure out how to get it to install to the users local folders instead of trying to install to the "system" /usr/bin/

[21:51:49] <stbatduke> when I use for example python get-pip.py --user it seems to have installed, but then it fails on pip and errors on /usr/bin/pip

[23:16:23] <stbatduke> how do you force get-pip.py and then the virtualenv installer to use the locally and manually installed python instead of /usr/bin/python ?
