Tool to create isolated Python environment
Project description
This tool creates an environment that is isolated from the rest of the Python installation, eliminating site-packages and any other source of modules, so that only the modules (and versions) you install into the environment will be available. This allows for isolated and controlled environments, as well as reproduceability.
The basic usage is:
workingenv.py MyNewEnvironment source MyNewEnvironment/bin/activate
After sourcing bin/activate any commands (like easy_install, python setup.py install, etc) will install into the new environment. A Windows activate.bat file is also generated for that environment.
The workingenv.py script has other options, like --home (necessary when using this with Zope), --requirements (for starting the environment with a specific set of packages) and others.
