Autoadd-bindir

Automatically add the bin-directory of your virtualenv to the PATH-environment variable.

You no longer need to manually activate your virtual environment.

How does it work?

We register the autoadd_bin.entrypoint()-function to sitecustomize-module that run for every python The function will look up sys.prefix of your python-executable and add the corresponding bin-directory to the PATH.

Installation

Install via pip:

> bin/pip install autoadd_bindir

Or add to your poetry-based project:

> poetry add autoadd_bindir

Validate & Usage

After installing this package there is nothing left you need to do explicitly. We can validate the plugin works correctly b starting a python-session and checking the PATH-environment-variable?

> bin/python

>>> import os
>>> print(os.getenv("PATH"))
    "<path-to-your-virtualenv>/bin", ...

Registered sitecustomize-entrypoint

The autoadd_bindir-function is registered as a sitecustomize-entrypoint in pyproject.toml_:

    [tool.poetry.plugins]
    [tool.poetry.plugins."sitecustomize"]
    autoadd_bindir = "autoadd_bindir:entrypoint"

Sitecustomize and all its entrypoints will be executed at the start of every python-process.
