virtualenv virtualenvwrapper virtualenv: error: unrecognized arguments: --no-site-packages
--no-site-packages
is the default for virtualenv
(and has been for like 5 years?) you can remove export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_ARGS='--no-site-packages'
from your .bashrc
it appears in virtualenv>=20
that this option was removed

I am trying to upgrade python from 3.6 to 3.8. I was successfully using virtualenv/wrapper successfully (although only one environment and no bells, whistles, or hooks), but the upgrade has not gone smoothly. I deleted everything and tried to start again. I am trying to make a new environment with
mkvirtualenv test
, and I am now getting the error:virtualenv: error: unrecognized arguments: --no-site-packages
after it gives a man(ual) suggestion on how to invokevirtualenv
, which leads me to believevirtualenvwrapper
is working, but I've missed something.Here are my details:

NB -
- trying to install virtualenvwrapper it says version 4.8.4, but the online docs say it is in 5.x
