Interactive virtual environments

Project description

ivenv is an Apache2 licensed Python module for interactive virtual environments.

The virtualenv package had a clever script called activate_this.py which when executed in a Python shell would “activate” the virtual environment. Sadly, venv lacks this feature so ivenv adds it back.

The ivenv package also adds support for “%activate” and “%deactivate” magic commands in IPython shells and Jupyter notebooks. This provides a simpler alternative to installing ipykernel in the destination virtual environment and adding the kernel to Jupyter.

Features

  • Pure-Python

  • IPython Support

  • Jupyter Support

  • Developed on Python 3.8

  • Tested on CPython 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and PyPy, PyPy3

  • Tested using GitHub Actions

Quickstart

Installing ivenv is simple with pip:

$ pip install ivenv

You can access documentation in the interpreter with Python’s built-in help function:

>>> import ivenv
>>> help(ivenv)
>>> help(ivenv.activate)
>>> help(ivenv.deactivate)

Tutorial

The ivenv module provides two functions for managing virtual environments:

>>> from ivenv import activate, deactivate

The activate function accepts a path to a virtual environment directory and “activates” that virtual environment within the Python shell.

>>> activate('path/to/venv/directory')

The deactivate function takes no arguments and “deactivates” the virtual environment within the Python shell.

>>> deactivate()

It’s also possible to use ivenv from IPython or Jupyter notebooks. To begin, load the ivenv extension:

%load_ext ivenv

Once the extension is loaded, the “magic” commands: %activate and %deactivate may be used just as their corresponding functions.

%activate path/to/venv/directory
%deactivate
