All your virtual environment should be in ~/python-env directory. This script will create alias for activating each of the virtual environments so that you do not have to type . ~/python-env/[environmentName]/bin/activate or source ~/pyhon-env/[envName]/bin/activate
Each time your shell starts it will create aliases for all the venv's in the ~/python-env directory.
Usage: act_[environmentName] #=> act_cms
P.S. You will need to run ". ~/bash_profile" to get the aliases ready without restarting the shell for the first time
Limitation: virtual env's cant have spaces in their name
