About:
pyenv-virtualenv is a plugin for pyenv that allows you to manage isolated Python environments seamlessly. It automatically switches virtualenvs based on your current directory, similar to rbenv's automatic switching. This tool eliminates the need for manual activation and deactivation of environments, streamlining your workflow.

Key Features:

Automatic virtualenv switching per directory
Integration with pyenv for Python version management
Support for both virtualenv and conda environments
Simple commands for creating and deleting environments

Use Cases:

Managing isolated dependencies for multiple Python projects
Switching between different Python versions and environments automatically
Streamlining development workflows without manual environment activation

Alternatives:

virtualenv – Standalone tool requiring manual activation; pyenv-virtualenv integrates with pyenv for auto-switching
venv – Built-in Python module lacking auto-switching and pyenv integration features
pipenv – Higher-level tool combining package management and virtualenv; pyenv-virtualenv focuses solely on environment management
