VirtualenvWrapper auto cd
Virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments for manage dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions in your Python apps. In comparison to Virtualenv, Virtualenvwrapper is a set of extensions for creating and deleting virtual environments and otherwise managing your development workflow Sometimes, manage your environments with Virtualenvwrapper could be kinda tricky; let's image this workflow.
~ > cd my_python_app
my_python_app > mkvirtualenv my_app
(my_app) my_python_app > |
Now anytime we want to work in our app we had to run something like this:
~ > cd my_python_app
my_python_app > workon my_app
(my_app) my_python_app > |
In other word, access to the app folder and run workon env_name in order to active your environment;
mostly Python's developers feel this kinda awkard and thats why Virtualenvwrapper offer
the
~ > cd new_python_app
new_python_app > mkvirtualenv new_app -a $(pwd)
(new_app) new_python_app > |
Now, we can just write workon env_name and this will auto access into your project folder
~ > workon new_app
(my_app) my_python_app > |
