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
