A Minimilalist Approach to Managing Python Virtual Environments

<p>The venvtool is a simple, minimalistic tool to help you manage your python virtual environments.<br> You will easily be able to create, list, copy, activate, deactivate and remove your virtual environments.</p>

Installation (or Update)

1. Download or clone this repo<br> 2. In your terminal, run the following command in the same directory where you downloaded venvtool

sh setup

<p>The venvtool setup script will add the vnv command line tool to your executable path as well as create a default directory for your virtual environments in your systems' home directory.</p> You may be required to type in your password.<br>

3. (Optional) you can now remove the venvtool directory that you downloaded

Sample Usage

1. First you need to create a virtual environment

vnv -c <test_env>

You will be able to see your virtual environments using this command:

vnv -ls

2. Then you can activate your virtual environment.

vnv -a <test_env>

3. Do awesome python work

4. When you are done with your work you can deactivate your virtual environment

vnv -d

Supports multiple virtual environment managers<br>

1. python venv (set to default)<br> 2. virtualenv (requires a pip install)<br><br> Just use the following command to toggle between managers:

vnv manager
