pyenv-link

A pyenv plugin for linking python versions and virtual envs into your pyenv root.

This plugin recommends the pyenv-virtualenv plugin.

Installation

This will install the latest development version of pyenv-link into the $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-link directory.

Important note: If you installed pyenv into a non-standard directory, make sure that you clone this repo into the 'plugins' directory of wherever you installed into.

From inside that directory you can:

• Check out a specific release tag.
• Get the latest development release by running git pull to download the latest changes.

git clone https://github.com/real-yfprojects/pyenv-link.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-link

For the Fish shell:

git clone https://github.com/real-yfprojects/pyenv-link.git (pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-link

Usage

Make an arbitrary virtualenv available through pyenv. This automatically guesses a fitting name from the prompt, the directory name or the location of the venv.

$ pyenv link version .venv
Linked new version named myproject-py3.10

You can also specify a name to use for the venv.

$ pyenv link version .venv myname
Linked new version named myname

Now you can make pyenv activate/use the venv automatically:

$ pyenv local myproject-py3.10
