P

SYNOPSIS: A couple of python/virtualenv utilities.

p is a simple function for managing virtualenvs. It is similar to
virtualenvwrapper but with fewer features. Use it to activate, deactivate,
and switch virtualenvs.

Currently there are two (shell) hooks provided:
    * post-activate
    * post-deactivate.
These should be files placed in the bin directory of your virtualenv

p.sh is meant to be sourced and not run directly.

pystrap is a utility for fine grained control over python and virtualenv,
or for use with old or awful unixes without nice repositories. It:
    * downloads and compiles python from source
    * installs python in your user directory
    * downloads virtualenv and dependencies
    * creates virtualenvs using these

Everything is kept in ~/.python.

Build deps are required:
    OSX:
        * xcode command line utils (has headers for some modules)
        * brew install gdbm (for gdbm headers)
        * still missing:
            _bsddb             dl                 imageop
            linuxaudiodev      ossaudiodev        spwd
            sunaudiodev
    DEB:
        * make sure deb-src is enabled in sources.list
        * aptitude build-dep python2.7

REQUIRES: bash p requires PYENV to be set to your base dir for virtualenvs

PROVIDES: p pystrap

INSTALL: p: put into ~/.bashrc or the like: export PYENV=~/my_virtual_envs source /path/to/p.sh

pystrap:
    put it somewhere in $PATH
    read comments at top of script, you'll need deps installed to build.

USAGE: p - list virtualenvs p -h - short help p --help - long help p -d - deactivate current virtualenv and run post-deactivate hook p -a - revert -d p -m MODULE - cd to directory where module lives p . - cd to site-packages of current virtualenv p .. - cd to root of current virtualenv p ENV - deactivate current virtualenv and activate ENV with hooks

pystrap -h --help
pystrap        - install python2 and virtualenv
pystrap ENV    - create virtualenv ENV with python2
pystrap -3     - install python3 and virtualenv
pystrap -3 ENV - create virtualenv ENV with python3
