How to use within a virtual environment?

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to start a ptpython session while in a virtualenv, where it doesn’t use the system python? Note this is with ptpython installed in my system packages, not within the virtualenv. For example, one can do virtualenv --python /path/to/my/python to specify the interpreter. Is something is similar possible w/ ptpython?

Yes, it is possible. ptpython has to be installed in each virtualenv. Do this by going into the virtualenv and use “pip install”. Then, once you are in the environment and type “ptpython” it will use that virtualenv.
