ven 0.3.0

Features

• Store virtualenv in .venv directory, kind of like a git repo.

• Run command inside virtualenv without activating it.

Install

$ pip install --user venv

Quickstart

Initialize an empty virtualenv using venv init:

$ venv init
New python executable in .venv/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip...done.

$ ls -A
.venv

Run command inside virtualenv using venv run:

$ venv run which python
~/project/.venv/bin/python

Activate virtualenv in a sub-shell:

$ venv run
$ which python
~/project/.venv/bin/python
$ (Deactivate with Ctrl-D)

Usage

Usage: venv [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  Easy way to use virtualenv

  --help  Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  init  Create a new virtualenv
  run   Run command in virtualenv (default: shell)

Caveats

Use ‘–’ to separate venv run options and command that contains ‘-‘:

$ venv run -- python --version
Python 2.7.5

oh-my-zsh overwrites $PATH, add the following to your .zshrc:

if [ -n "$VIRTUAL_ENV" ]; then
    export PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"
fi

Recommanded aliases:

alias vrun='venv run --'
alias vpy='venv run -- python'
alias vpip='venv run -- pip'
