pip will not try to make things difficult for you on purpose.

The thing is commands based files are always installed in /bin folders they can be anywhere on the system path.

I had the same problem and I found that I have these files in my

~/.local/bin/

folder instead of

/usr/loca/bin/

which is the common case, but I think they changed the default path to

~ or $HOME

directory because its more isolate for the pip installations and provides a distinction between apt-get packages and pip packages.

So coming to the point you have two choices here either you go to your .bashrc and make changes like this

# for virtualenv wrapper
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/Envs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/Devel
source $HOME/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper.sh

and than create a directory virtualenvwrapper under /usr/share/ and than symlink your virtualwrapper_lazy.sh like this

sudo ln -s ~/.local/bin/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh /usr/share/virtualenvwrapper/virtualenvwrapper_lazy.sh

and you can check if your workon command is working which will list your existing virtualenv's.
