Simple helper that creates virtualenvs named after the current working directory

lve

#!/bin/sh

function lve () {

    if [ -n "$1" ]
    then
       VENV="$1"
    else
       VENV=`basename "$PWD"`
    fi

    VENV_PATH="/home/$USER/venvs/$VENV"

    if [ ! -e "$VENV_PATH" ]
    then
        virtualenv "$VENV_PATH"
    fi

    unset VENV

    source "$VENV_PATH/bin/activate"

}
