Additional Tools and Scripts
============================
pyvenv - Creating virtual environments
--------------------------------------
Creation of virtual environments is done by executing the ``pyvenv``
script::
pyvenv /path/to/new/virtual/environment
Running this command creates the target directory (creating any parent
directories that don't exist already) and places a ``pyvenv.cfg`` file
in it with a ``home`` key pointing to the Python installation the
command was run from. It also creates a ``bin`` (or ``Scripts`` on
Windows) subdirectory containing a copy of the ``python`` binary (or
binaries, in the case of Windows) and the ``pysetup3`` script (to
facilitate easy installation of packages from PyPI into the new virtualenv).
It also creates an (initially empty) ``lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``
subdirectory (on Windows, this is ``Lib\site-packages``).
.. highlight:: none
On Windows, you may have to invoke the ``pyvenv`` script as follows, if you
don't have the relevant PATH and PATHEXT settings::
c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python c:\Python33\Tools\Scripts\pyvenv.py myenv
or equivalently::
c:\Temp>c:\Python33\python -m venv myenv
The command, if run with ``-h``, will show the available options::
usage: pyvenv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlink] [--clear]
[--upgrade] ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]
Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.
positional arguments:
ENV_DIR A directory to create the environment in.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--system-site-packages Give access to the global site-packages dir to the
virtual environment.
--symlink Attempt to symlink rather than copy.
--clear Delete the environment directory if it already exists.
If not specified and the directory exists, an error is
raised.
--upgrade Upgrade the environment directory to use this version
of Python, assuming Python has been upgraded in-place.
If the target directory already exists an error will be raised, unless
the ``--clear`` or ``--upgrade`` option was provided.
The created ``pyvenv.cfg`` file also includes the
``include-system-site-packages`` key, set to ``true`` if ``venv`` is
run with the ``--system-site-packages`` option, ``false`` otherwise.
Multiple paths can be given to ``pyvenv``, in which case an identical
virtualenv will be created, according to the given options, at each
provided path.
