pvm

pvm is a Windows-first Python version manager inspired by nvm.

Current MVP features:

pvm install 3.12.2 downloads the official Windows embeddable package.
pvm global 3.12.2 sets the default version.
pvm local 3.12.2 writes .python-version for a project.
pvm current resolves local over global.
pvm which python shows the active interpreter.
pvm init --shell powershell prints PATH setup instructions.
pvm writes python and pip shims into ~/.pvm/shims.

Install

pip install .

Then add the shims directory to your PATH:

pvm init --shell powershell

Example

pvm install 3.12.2
pvm global 3.12.2
python --version

Notes

The current installer targets Windows and uses the official embeddable package from python.org.
The embeddable package does not ship with pip by default. Use pvm install 3.12.2 --with-pip if you want pip bootstrapped via get-pip.py.
pvm itself should ideally be installed with pipx or a bootstrap/system Python, not inside a Python runtime managed by pvm.
