This is cool, I like tools that focus on one thing.

Just like the author, I never used all virtualenvwrapper's features and was always happy to create and delete VEs on my own. The only thing missing from standard virtualenv workflow is easy way to activate the VE; so I wrote that on my own and been using it since ever. It's trivially small shell script but it does the work well, you can check it out at pypi:

What is truly horrible is that I wrote my shell function, named it ave, thought it was a great name and then months later (edit: after I released vex) realized you had written a package named ave. Oh well.. :)

This is also worth checking out if you just want 'workon' type functionality without the fuss.

I guess I was faster picking ave :) but vex is good too.
