/etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper: No such file or directory

I'm currently trying to follow the linux setup steps here. I've followed all of the steps but when I run source ~/.bash_profile I get the error /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper: No such file or directory. Virtualenvwrapper is definitely installed:

$ pip list --format=columns

Running these commands solved it. Not sure which one is actually responsible though

sudo pip uninstall virtualenvwrapper
sudo apt-get install virtualenvwrapper
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

That makes sense: it would be bad form for a package manager like pip to install things in /etc, which is owned by the system package manager (APT / dpkg). When you use pip install virtualenvwrapper, the config file ends up installed somewhere under your home directory; when you install with apt-get, the config file is installed under /etc.

Thanks. Maybe the steps on the website need to be updated then, since they currently say to use pip.

I can do a PR for this a bit later

Yes, «sudo pip» leads to trouble and IMO should not be advertised.
