Using Rope or Ropemacs with Python Virtualenv

To make Rope use the libraries in your virtualenv: edit config.py in the .ropeproject directory (in the Rope project you want to set this up for) and add the following lines at the top of the "set_prefs" function:

VIRTUAL_ENV = "/home/yourname/envs/envname/"
ACTIVATE_FILE = VIRTUAL_ENV + "bin/activate_this.py"
execfile(ACTIVATE_FILE, dict(__file__=ACTIVATE_FILE))

Simple :)
