Pyenv Virtualenv
pyenv-virtualenv is a plugin for pyenv that creates and manages isolated Python virtual environments on Unix-like systems. It functions as an environment orchestrator that extends the core version switching system to provide project isolation.
The tool automates the activation and switching of Python environments based on the current working directory. It also includes a bridge for managing and interacting with Conda environments through the pyenv interface.
The project covers the full lifecycle of environment management, including the creation, listing, and deletion of isolated environments. It handles the activation of these environments to ensure library versions remain separate for different applications.
Features
- Python Environment Managers - Creates and organizes isolated Python environments to prevent dependency conflicts between projects.
- Command Interception Shims - Uses proxy shims to intercept command calls and route them to the correct virtual environment binary.
- Environment Activation - Enables manual or automatic switching to specific Python environments via configuration files.
- Directory-Based Activation - Automatically updates system paths and environment variables based on the current working directory.
- Virtual Environment Managers - Functions as a plugin for pyenv to create and manage isolated Python virtual environments.
- Runtime Dependency Isolation - Keeps library versions separate for each application to ensure consistent behavior across development and production.
- Directory-Based Environment Switching - Automatically switches the active Python environment when entering a specific project directory.
- Virtual Environment Isolation - Creates isolated execution spaces based on specific Python versions to prevent dependency conflicts.
- Conda - Provides a unified interface to manage and switch between Conda environments.
- Python Version Managers - Adds virtual environment lifecycle management to the pyenv version switching system.
- Hook-Based Plugin Systems - Extends core version management by hooking into the existing command dispatch system.
- Virtual Environments - Plugin for managing virtual environments within version managers.
