Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL7.2
python-virtualenv-1.10.1-2.el7

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:

To create virtual environments, we can use the virtualenv command. Create an environment called "testredhat" successfully.

[root@debug ~]# virtualenv testredhat
New python executable in testredhat/bin/python
Installing Setuptools..............................................................................................................................................................................................................................done.
Installing Pip.....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................done.
[root@debug ~]# cd testredhat/
[root@debug testredhat]# ls
bin  include  lib  lib64
[root@debug testredhat]# 

However if we create a file with similar name which we want to create for virtualenv then it throws an error. 

[root@debug ~]# 
[root@debug ~]# touch ansible
[root@debug ~]# rpm -qa | grep python-libs
python-libs-2.7.5-34.el7.x86_64
[root@debug ~]# virtualenv ansible
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 3, in <module>
    virtualenv.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 821, in main
    symlink=options.symlink)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 956, in create_environment
    site_packages=site_packages, clear=clear, symlink=symlink))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 1129, in install_python
    mkdir(lib_dir)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 441, in mkdir
    os.makedirs(path)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 150, in makedirs
    makedirs(head, mode)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
    mkdir(name, mode)
OSError: [Errno 20] Not a directory: 'ansible/lib'
[root@debug ~]# echo $?
1
[root@debug ~]# 

Actual results:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/virtualenv", line 3, in <module>
    virtualenv.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 821, in main
    symlink=options.symlink)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/virtualenv.py", line 956, in create_environment

Expected results:

No error

Additional info:
Comment 2 Robert Kuska 2016-03-10 09:06:06 UTC 
The behavior is correct but error message needs polishing.

Does this seem ok to you?

> $ touch ansible
> $ virtualenv scripts
ERROR: File already exists and is not a directory.
Please provide a different path or delete the file.
