Deprecated

This project is deprecated in favor of a virtualenvwrapper fork.

venv-burrito

Minimalistic set of convenience functions for managing Python virtual environments using the venv module. Inspired by virtualenvwrapper

Usage

Download the functions.bash script and source it in your shell.

The following functions are now available:

• mkvirtualenv VENV-NAME
• workon VENV-NAME
• lsvirtualenv
• cdvirtualenv
• rmvirtualenv VENV-NAME

Their behavior is almost equivalent to the behavior of the eponymous virtualenvwrapper functions.

Testing

Running the tests requires bats to be installed.

From the repository root, execute

bats test/functions.bats

Why not virtualenvwrapper?

It's an excellent collection of scripts. However it wraps virtualenv which - when creating virtual environments - copies the system Python binary to the virtual environment, leading to drawbacks discussed here. Using the built-in venv module is more robust.

Additionally, I'm only using five of the many functions provided by virtualenvwrapper.
