Support for .project file and venv + project folder association
wooyek opened this issue · comments
berdario/pew supports setproject which is a nice convenience to cd into a project folder associated with a venv activation.
I like vex's shorter command to activate venv (instead od pew workon
) but it meas I have to cd use a second command to enter project folder.
It would be nice if vex
checked for .project
file existence and entered the project folder upon subshell activation.
I like the idea, but not the implementation.
.project
isn't a universal python file.
Yeah, but since pew
used that, it would be nice to use the same file for compatibility.
It would be even nicer if python pyvenv
allowed venv + project association internally, but I think it's harder to put anything into standard lib.
@brianbruggeman what would you propose?
I don't know yet.
What defines what .project
is? Is it some kind of standard, or just something pew uses?
I don't care about compatibility with pew, just python and virtualenv for this reason: if someone is using pew, they're probably not using this and if they're using this, they're probably not using pew.
So if .project
is just a pew thing then I don't understand the use case where you're creating this file with pew and then using vex with it.
If pew's behavior is what you want, but you don't like the spelling of pew workon
then you can create an alias to pew workon
.
It would be important to get real answers to these questions to go further into this issue.
