python terminal virtualenvwrapper osx-mavericks

After upgrading to OSX Mavericks, I am getting this message in the terminal:

/usr/bin/python: No module named virtualenvwrapper
virtualenvwrapper.sh: There was a problem running the initialization hooks. 

If Python could not import the module virtualenvwrapper.hook_loader,
check that virtualenv has been installed for
VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PYTHON=/usr/bin/python and that PATH is
set properly.

Try reinstalling pip and then reinstalling virtualenvwrapper (I had to go through these steps after upgrading to Mavericks):

$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install --upgrade virtualenvwrapper
