How to use pyenv with virtualenvwrapper
Raw
pyenv.md

Using pyenv with virtualenvwrapper

  • pyenv is used to manage which version of python you are using
  • virtualenv is used to manage python dependencies

They can interact nicely together if you do the following:

Install the required packages (this assumes that you have virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper installed).

Install pyenv and pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

brew install pyenv
brew install pyenv-virtualenvwrapper

Add export PYENV_VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_PREFER_PYVENV="true" to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file, then source ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc).

Set up a specific python version

mkdir <dir>
cd <dir>
pyenv install 3.4.6

# Fix local version of Python

pyenv local 3.4.6
mkvirtualenv -a ./ example_virtualenv
