jillw 0.1.1

The wrapper for jill.py and manage Julia environments with Python virtualenv

JILL Wrapper

JILL Wrapper (jillw) is a lightweight and cross-platform Julia version manager. This work is based on johnnychen94/jill.py and Python venv.

jillw targets several different use cases:

1. cross-platform julia installation
2. cross-platform julia version management
3. providing the "one Julia, one Python" installation

Installation

pip install -U jillw
