Simple Python [executable] version management, that is.
Another useful Python version manager is asdf
with python plugin. The most helpful feature of asdf is ability to specify what Python version to use in certain directory by simply placing a .tool-versions
file (contains the version number to use) in that directory. This makes working with multiple projects that requires different version of Python very seamless.
pyenv
also has this with the .python-version
file which will switch versions. And with the plugin, you can use virtualenvs in pyenv so that a .python-version
can be simply: my-cool-project-virtualenv
and switching to that directory automatically switches to it.
Ooh, thanks for mentioning asdf
! I’ve heard of it, but didn’t realize it could that
AFAIU, asdf uses pyenv for its Python plugin, but rtx does it all just a little better.
indeed, worth linking it: https://github.com/jdxcode/rtx
