history
Project history and usage
pyenv-virtualenvwrapper connects pyenv-managed Python versions with the virtualenvwrapper command workflow.
Project history
pyenv-virtualenvwrapper was created within the pyenv ecosystem as an alternative approach to managing virtual environments, integrating pyenv with virtualenvwrapper rather than replacing the latter's workflow.
Adoption history
The project was packaged by Homebrew and remained a compatibility-oriented option for developers who preferred virtualenvwrapper's commands while adopting pyenv for interpreter management.
How it is used
Initialize the integration from the shell with pyenv virtualenvwrapper or its lazy-loading variant, then use virtualenvwrapper commands while pyenv supplies the selected base interpreter.
Why package nerds care
The plugin represents an interoperability layer between two influential shell-based Python environment workflows. It is useful where teams want pyenv-controlled interpreters without abandoning virtualenvwrapper habits and hook conventions.
