# This script creates a virtualenv named 'env' and installs all
# python dependencies before activating the env and running Electrum.
# If 'env' already exists, it is activated and Electrum is started
# without any installations. Additionally, the PYTHONPATH environment
# variable is set properly before running Electrum.
#
# python-qt and its dependencies will still need to be installed with
# your package manager.
