I am currently trying to use virtualenv in my home directory to setup different python environments but was met with the following error [Errno 13] Permission denied. This happened using both virtualenv and virtualenv-3.
After looking through /var/log/messages I found that the problem was caused by placing python libraries outside of a wxallowed mountpoint if I am reading the message of W^X binary outside wxallowed mountpoint correctly. . My guess is that python2.7 and python3.6 are locked to /usr/local/bin. So my question is, will there be any security implications that I should be concerned about with setting wxallowed in /etc/fstab to the home mountpoint? Is this the correct way in solving this issue for using virtualenv or is there a recommended way that I haven't read / come across yet? As another test I did download the source from python.org for both 3.6 and 2.7 and compile them with the prefix being /home/jstephens/bin. Which allowed me to use virtualenv and virtualenv-3 but I would rather stick with the python binaries that came with openbsd. Thanks, Josh Stephens
