venvctrl
Python API for interacting with virtual environments.
Why?
The only real interface provided by a virtual environment is the CLI. This package wraps the command line tools to provide a more friendly programmatic interface.
Creating A Venv
from venvctrl import api
api.VirtualEnvironment('/some/path/here').create()
Installing Packages
from venvctrl import api
venv = api.VirtualEnvironment('/some/existing/venv')
if not venv.has_package('venvctrl'):
venv.install_package('venvctrl')
else:
venv.uninstall_package('venvctrl')
Moving A Venv
from venvctrl import api
venv = api.VirtualEnvironment('/some/existing/venv')
venv.move('/some/new/path')
Alternatively, use the CLI.
venvctrl-relocate \
--source=/some/existing/venv \
--destination=/some/new/path \
--move
