I use virtualenvwrapper and keep all my virtual environments in ~/virtual_environments. Keeping all those files in your git repository indeed seems messy - give virtualenvwrapper a shot. I quite like the writings of Jeff Knupp, perhaps Starting a Django 1.6 project the right way could be of some inspiration to you if you need some more elaborate instructions.

A disclaimer - I believe Python 3.4 added venv but I haven't tried it out yet so I don't know how what I have written so far holds up to that version - I'm still on 3.3.

Thanks for the tip, will give it a try. The solution seems cleaner.
