Cut down your venv sizes by symlinking all the things

ienv

!!WARNING!! THIS IS A ONE WAY PROCESS !!WARNING!!

Have you got 30GB of SciPy on your disk because every time someone wants to add two numbers together they install a whole lab on your machine? Are your fifty copies of PyTorch and TensorFlow weighing heavy on your SSD?

Why not throw caution to the wind and replace everyhing in the site-packages dir with symlinks? It's not like you're going to need them anyway. And nobody will ever write to them and mess up every venv on your machine. Right?

!!WARNING!! THIS RECKLESS AND STUPID !!WARNING!!

Usage

pip install ienv
ienv .venv

Recovery

Pull requests welcome!

All the files are there, I've just not written anything to bring them back yet. Ever, probably.

Mostly written by ChatGPT just to see if it could do it. With a bit of guidance it actually could, but it can't learn like that so it's like a student that nods along and you think it's listening and it's really just playing along and tricking you into doing its homework. But to be honest it was either that or copilot anyway.
