# pyenv-virtualenv
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv.png)](https://travis-ci.org/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv)
pyenv-virtualenv is a [pyenv](https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv) plugin
that provides a `pyenv virtualenv` command to create virtualenvs for Python
on UNIX-like systems.
(NOTICE: If you are an existing user of [virtualenvwrapper](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenvwrapper)
and you love it, [pyenv-virtualenvwrapper](https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenvwrapper) may help you
(additionally) to manage your virtualenvs.)
## Installation
### Installing as a pyenv plugin
This will install the latest development version of pyenv-virtualenv into
the `~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv` 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.
1. **Check out pyenv-virtualenv into plugin directory**
$ git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv.git ~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv
2. **Add `pyenv virtualenv-init` to your shell** to enable activation of virtualenv. This is entirely optional but pretty useful.
$ echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile
**Zsh note**: Modify your `~/.zshenv` file instead of `~/.bash_profile`.
**Pyenv note**: You may also need to add 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' to your profile if you haven't done so already.
3. **Restart your shell to enable pyenv-virtualenv**
$ exec "$SHELL"
### Installing with Homebrew (for OS X users)
Mac OS X users can install pyenv-virtualenv with the
[Homebrew](http://brew.sh) package manager.
This will give you access to the `pyenv-virtualenv` command. If you have pyenv
installed, you will also be able to use the `pyenv virtualenv` command.
*This is the recommended method of installation if you installed pyenv
with Homebrew.*
```
$ brew install pyenv-virtualenv
```
Or, if you would like to install the latest development release:
```
$ brew install --HEAD pyenv-virtualenv
```
After installation, you'll still need to add `eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init
-)"` to your profile (as stated in the caveats). You'll only ever have to do
this once.
## Usage
### Using `pyenv virtualenv` with pyenv
To create a virtualenv for the Python version used with pyenv, run
`pyenv virtualenv`, specifying the Python version you want and the name
of the virtualenv directory. For example,
```
$ pyenv virtualenv 2.7.7 my-virtual-env-2.7.7
```
will create a virtualenv based on Python 2.7.7 under `~/.pyenv/versions` in a
folder called `my-virtual-env-2.7.7`.
### Create virtualenv from current version
If there is only one argument given to `pyenv virtualenv`, the virtualenv will
be created with the given name based on the current pyenv Python version.
```
$ pyenv version
3.4.2 (set by /home/yyuu/.pyenv/version)
$ pyenv virtualenv venv34
```
### List existing virtualenvs
`pyenv virtualenvs` shows you the list of existing virtualenvs:
```
$ pyenv shell venv27
$ pyenv virtualenvs
* venv27 (created from /home/yyuu/.pyenv/versions/2.7.7)
venv34 (created from /home/yyuu/.pyenv/versions/3.4.1)
```
### Activate virtualenv
Some external tools (e.g. [jedi](https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi)) might
require you to `activate` the virtualenv.
`pyenv-virtualenv` will automatically activate/deactivate the virtualenv if
the `eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"` is properly configured in your shell.
You can also activate and deactivate a pyenv virtualenv manually:
pyenv activate <name>
pyenv deactivate
### Delete existing virtualenv
Removing the directory in `~/.pyenv/versions` will delete the virtualenv, or you can run:
pyenv uninstall my-virtual-env
### virtualenv and pyvenv
There is a [venv](http://docs.python.jp/3/library/venv.html) module available
for CPython 3.3 and newer.
It provides a command-line tool `pyvenv` which is the successor of `virtualenv`
and distributed by default.
`pyenv-virtualenv` uses `pyvenv` if it is available and the `virtualenv`
command is not available.
### Special environment variables
You can set certain environment variables to control pyenv-virtualenv.
* `PYENV_VIRTUALENV_CACHE_PATH`, if set, specifies a directory to use for
caching downloaded package files.
* `VIRTUALENV_VERSION`, if set, forces pyenv-virtualenv to install the desired
version of virtualenv. If `virtualenv` has not been installed,
pyenv-virtualenv will try to install the given version of virtualenv.
* `EZ_SETUP` and `GET_PIP`, if set and `pyvenv` is preferred over `virtualenv`,
use `ez_setup.py` and `get_pip.py` from the specified location.
* `EZ_SETUP_URL` and `GET_PIP_URL`, if set and `pyvenv` is preferred over
`virtualenv`, download `ez_setup.py` and `get_pip.py` from the specified URL.
* `SETUPTOOLS_VERSION` and `PIP_VERSION`, if set and `pyvenv` is preferred
over `virtualenv`, install the specified version of setuptools and pip.
