vem

“A manager to manage them all.”

vem is an ultra-simple python’s Virtual Environments Manager (see here for more).

Installation

More than simple, just copy this to your $PATH.

Usage

vem <command>
  list: display all disponible environments
  get: display current environment
  set <env>: set current environment
  link <env> <dest>: link environment to location
  gen <env>: generate new environment
  tmp: generate a temporary environment
  del <env>: delete given environment
  help: display help

Configuration

vem uses a virtual environment folder, located at $HOME/.virtual-env.

Q/A

Why not using /bin/activate?

I was reading this, and realized that this script is useless, and complicated. Doing a separate sub-shell for our environment is simpler, quicker, and safer.

How to desactivate current environment?

Just exit, or ^D!
