Activate virtualenv in Fish shell
Problem
If you used to be a bash shell user and then decided to move to fish, you will probably face a problem with activating your python virtual environment.
The typical method to activate a virtualenv is:
$ source your_env_name/bin/activate
This fails in Fish shell:
source: Error while reading file “your_env_name/bin/activate”
Solutions
The solution for this problem was much a lot easier than googling it. Thankfully, virtualenv ships with an activation script for specifically for Fish. Use that instead:
$ source your_env_name/bin/activate.fish
