+### Caveats when using running from virtual environments
+
+Some users have experienced trouble running nvim-wrapper when inside a virtual environment created by e.g. virtualenv, conda or similar.
+One workaround is to point the nvim-wrapper script directly to the right (system) python3 executable, i.e. change: 
+
+~~~
+#! /usr/bin/env python3
+~~~
+
+into:
+
+~~~
+#! /usr/bin/python3
+~~~
+
+After this, make sure the neovim python package is installed from the correct package manager, e.g. in Ubuntu:
+
+~~~
+/usr/bin/pip3 install --user neovim
+~~~
