autovenv

This script finds the closest Python 3 virtualenv and activates it.

If no venv is found in the current or directories up to $HOME, this script will create a venv for the current directory.

If it does find a venv in an ancestor directory but you want to force a new venv in the current directory, use the force option.

Rename the autovenv-created active venv with ./autovenv mv $new_name. Remove the autovenv-created active venv with ./autovenv rm.

Use with zsh

Add this to your ~/.zshrc, updating the path to this file:

function autovenv_cd_hook() { eval $(PRINT_VARS=1 ~/path/to/autovenv); }
autoload -U add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook chpwd autovenv_cd_hook

plugins(... virtualenv)
ZSH_THEME="autovenv"

Show the virtualenv in your zsh prompt with oh-my-zsh! for example:

# ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/autovenv.zsh-theme
PROMPT='$(virtualenv_prompt_info) '
PROMPT+="%(?:%{$fg_bold[green]%}%1{➜%} :%{$fg_bold[red]%}%1{➜%} ) %{$fg[cyan]%}%c%{$reset_color%}"
PROMPT+=' $(git_prompt_info)'
