Install

  1. Copy inve and inve.bat (for Windows) into a destination on your $PATH.
  2. Append .bashrc to your ~/.bashrc.

Usage

virtualenv [env]
inve [env]

env - name of the virtualenv environment (default: .env)

Motivation

I was persuaded by Michael Lamb's gist Virtualenv's bin/activate is Doing It Wrong and I decided to implement most of his suggestsions with a few simplifications and extensions.

Notably, I assumed a default virtual environment called .env so that I can just write inve (similar to workon from virtualenvwrapper).

Raw
inve
#!/bin/sh
__venv=".env"
if [ "$1" ]; then
__venv="$1"
shift
fi
if [ -d "$PWD/${__venv}" ]; then
echo "loading virtualenv ${__venv}"
export VIRTUAL_ENV="$PWD/${__venv}"
export PATH="$VIRTUAL_ENV/bin:$PATH"
unset PYTHONHOME
exec "${@:-$SHELL}"
else
echo "no virtualenv named ${__venv}"
echo "try: virtualenv ${__venv}"
fi
Raw
inve.bat
@echo off
setlocal
if "%1"=="" (set "VENV=.env") else (set "VENV=%1")
if EXIST "%CD%\%VENV%" (goto load) else (goto err)
:load
echo loading virtualenv %VENV%
cmd /V:ON /K "set "VIRTUAL_ENV=%CD%\%VENV%\" & set "PATH=%CD%\%VENV%\Scripts;%PATH%" & set "PROMPT=%VENV% %PROMPT%" & set "PYTHONHOME=""
goto end
:err
echo no virtualenv named %VENV%
echo try: virtualenv %VENV%
echo.
:end
