pyenv plugin to scan for dependent virtual environments
#!/usr/bin/env bash
#
# Summary: Find virtual environments that use pyenv-managed versions.
#
# Usage: pyenv users [directory]
#
# Scans [directory] for virtual environments whose `python` commands
# are symlinks back into a pyenv version. Default: current directory.
#
# I'm not a script writer so it's probably a bit crude, but I find it
# helpful for checking if I can uninstall old Python versions. Uses
# the `column` command from the util-linux package (if available) for
# pretty-printing the output.
