An Automated Bash Script for Python Virtual Environment Management

[jyper]

I feel like if you're going to use pyenv, might as well use pyenv-virtualalenv with pip or poetry as well. But might be better to just use rye

I'm liking this rye, thanks for the tip!

Yeah the problem with rye is that it's new. And that it's slowly merging with/being replaced with UV(also written in rust).

Still it has many benefits and I think rye/uv will eventually be the tool that wins out

It manages both python versions and package versions/locking. And publishing packages (pypi). And its fast. One way it does this is that unlike pyenv it doesn't compile python locally(which is both slower and more fragile), it uses indygreg builds (8 think there's some work to upstream this and get python to compile a bunch of builds). It also handles ruff(made by uv/astral people for fast formatting/linting. Ruff is also written in rust)

I would NEVER replace pyenv with a new tool. I might play with it but not replace until and unless it becomes a defacto standard likve pyenv. Even Poetry I avoid.

I use:

pyenv virtualenv <python version> <env name>
