virtualenv with Anaconda

Hi, I want to try your tutorials (thanks a lot for doing them) but encountered some problems while going through the setup. I think it has to do with my installation of python, which is Anaconda. I know that Anaconda comes with its own way of making environments, so maybe the virtualenv part of the setup is not necessary. Anyway, I think it would be helpful if you could provide some guidance for people who have Anaconda. Since basic knowledge of python is a prerequisite, it it makes sense that people already have python installed, and Anaconda is likely the distribution many have.
