pyenv-virtualenv is a pyenv plugin that manages Python virtual environments alongside pyenv's version management. It creates isolated environments tied to specific Python versions, each with its own independent set of installed packages, and integrates them seamlessly into pyenv's version-switching workflow.Virtual environments created with this plugin appear as regular pyenv versions and can be activated using pyenv activate or auto-activated by setting a local version with pyenv local. When a .python-version file references a virtualenv name, entering that directory automatically activates the environment and leaving it deactivates, providing a frictionless per-project workflow.
