PyNash: Quick Hit: Virtualenvwrapper Auto Directory Tips

I use virtualenvwrapper to manage my virtual environments, and I store everything in a projects folder in my home directory. Thanks to a tip on the virtualenvwrapper site, I can have it automatically create directories for my projects when I do a mkvirtualenv. I can also have it automatically change to the project directory when I use work on.

To set this up I have to edit two scripts in the VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_HOOK_DIR, which defaults to the $WORKON_HOME.
For me I have it set via export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenv in my .bashrc file, which means the following two scripts are in ~/.virtualenv/.

In the postmkvirtualenv script I have the following to create a directory based on the project name, add that directory to the python path and then cd into it:

proj_name=$(echo $VIRTUAL_ENV|awk -F'/' '{print $NF}')
mkdir $HOME/projects/$proj_name
add2virtualenv $HOME/projects/$proj_name
cd $HOME/projects/$proj_name

In the postactivate script I have it set to automatically change to the project directory when I use the workon command:

proj_name=$(echo $VIRTUAL_ENV|awk -F'/' '{print $NF}')
cd ~/projects/$proj_name
