Virtual Python Environment Builder (complete rewrite)

Project description

This is based on the rewrite branch of virtualenv: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tree/rewrite

What pythons are currently supported in this fork:

  • Python 2.6

  • PyPy

  • PyPy3 (on Windows it doesn’t really work cause pip is broken on the 2.4.0 release)

  • Python 2.6

  • Python 2.7

  • Python 3.2 (tested but unsupported, check test results for exact situation)

  • Python 3.3

  • Python 3.4

What’s currently tested (on Windows AppVeyor Build Status and Linux CircleCI Build Status Travis-CI Build Status):

  • creation

  • recreation

  • --system-site-packages (incl. ordering of sites)

  • .pth support

  • bin scripts

  • tox integration

  • C extensions compile properly inside

Debian-flavored linuxes are also supported (with their messy patches on site.py/distutils/sysconfig).

What’s missing:

  • No symlinks or hardlinks, just dumb copies.

  • Relocation support (it wasn’t really supported in legacy virtualenv anyway).

  • You tell me …
