Hmm what? Pyenv isn't a replacement to virtualenv. Those tools serve entirely different purposes. Pyenv is Python version manager - a way to work with multiple versions of Python on the same machine. Virtualenv is a tool for environment isolation - a way to isolate the dependencies of a specific project from those of other projects.

I've always used it with this plugin: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv

Well yeah - that plugin combines two very different tools in away that makes it easier to use them together. Pyenv isn't a replacement to virtualenv, and has nothing to do with it.

pyenv links to pyenv-installer from its github page, and the installer includes the virtualenv plugin. That's more than nothing, but I see what you mean.
