Creating a virtualenv inside a specific directory with virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper [duplicate]

Question

Is there a way for creating the virtualenv folder in a specific directory (i.e., the current directory) using virtualenv / virtualenvwrapper, instead of the default one (i.e., WORKON_HOME).

Something equivalent to:

$ python -m venv env # this creates the folder `env` in the current path

virtualenv — yes: just do virtualenv env or virtualenv /path/to/env – Robynroc

virtualenvwrapper — no; the entire idea of virtualenvwrapper is to manage virtual environments in a central location. – Robynroc

thanx for pointing out the rationale behind virtualenvwrapper – Anlace

virtualenvwrapper -- yes: you can set WORKON_HOME to another directory and create the environment there. You can set it back. It's easy to manage with a few bash aliases. – Fosdick

Answer 1

use virtualenv /pathto/env for this.
