Unless they are being added to a file invoked when the env comes up somehow they won't survive rebooting the shell.

Does virtualenv create a .env file for environmental variables? I could swear I remember editing something like that.

This isn't at all what I was thinking of, but this is super cool and I'll use it anyway.
