Pyenv Installer
pyenv-installer is a set of Unix shell installation scripts designed to automate the deployment and removal of the pyenv Python version manager and its associated plugins. It provides a system for installing and switching between multiple versions of the Python interpreter on a single machine without affecting the system Python.
The tool utilizes a bootstrap script to handle source acquisition via Git and manages the creation of a hidden directory structure in the user home folder. It automates shell environment configuration by injecting path variables and initialization hooks into shell profile files.
The project includes utilities for both the initial setup of the Python toolchain and a removal utility to delete installed files and restore the shell environment to its previous state.
