Asdf Support

[jamesstidard]

Hi,

I'm looking at switching from pyenv to asdf for managing my python installs, but it would be a shame to miss the QoL integration pipenv has with pyenv.

I forked the repo and had a look at how easy it would be to add. Seems pretty straight forward. I guess some things to consider are:

• What if pyenv and asdf are both installed?
  I would assume pyenv takes priority as it's language specific. Or a user environment var to flag a preference.

• Adding to an already fringe feature
  The pyenv integration, though I find very convent, is probably not considered that core to the project. Adding this extra python version manager integration is maybe just more to maintain.

If this has a chance of being picked up, I'd happily finish and document the changes.

Thanks.

I believe techalchemy added ASDF support already. See:

• https://github.com/sarugaku/pythonfinder/search?q=asdf&unscoped_q=asdf
• asdf integration + handling shims? sarugaku/pythonfinder#35
• Add support for ASDF sarugaku/pythonfinder#36
• use ASDF_DIR env var to test if ASDF is installed sarugaku/pythonfinder#41

I'm not 100% sure if this is already released but the latest version of pythonfinder vendored into this repo already has ASDF support.

If I understand correctly, the ASDF support in pythonfinder is about python finding, but the OP is talking about python installation.

In my opinion, it is a reasonable request, just need some refinement for the implementation.

Yeah, sorry I didn't make that too clear in my original post. pythonfinder does check for asdf installs currently. The hack-job fork I made uses to see if asdf is installed - just as pyenv installed are currently checked for.

In my opinion, it is a reasonable request, just need some refinement for the implementation.

I think one of the things that should be checked is if, not just asdf is installed, but the python plugin for asdf is also installed. I couldn't see how/if this is was handled for pyenv's equivalent python-build plugin. You can list installed plugins in asdf, whereas I think for pyenv the install command just doesn't show up unless the plugin is installed.

Seems fixed.
