When you use Docker for development you're not relying on virtualenv anymore. PyCharm relies on virtualenv for code completion. Therefore we still need to create a virtualenv for each Python project.

The virtualenv is only used for PyCharm, handy for code completion. Installation guide. The actual development happens in a Docker container.

$ brew install postgresql
$ brew install pyenv
$ pyenv install 3.4.1
$ cd ~/.virtualenvs
$ virtualenv -p /Users/<username>/.pyenv/versions/3.4.1/bin/python3.4 <foo_project>
$ source ./<foo_project>/bin/activate && python -V

If you have issues with zipimport.ZipImportError: can't decompress data; zlib not available:

CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include -I$(xcrun --show-sdk-path)/usr/include" \
LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" \
pyenv install -v 3.4.1
