Python Version Management, Simplified. Wrap pipx
and poetry
Tools
p
is powerful and feature-packed, yet simple; both in setup and use. There are no tricky settings, options, or crazy dependencies. p
is just a helpful ~600 line Bash script that gets the job done.
p
let's you quickly switch between Python versions whenever you need to, removing the barrier between Python 2.x.x and 3.x.x.
p
was heavily inspired by n
, a version manager for Node.js.
p
is also great for getting started using Python development versions. Use p latest
to get up and running with the latest development version of Python!
Getting Started
After the super painless drag-and-drop installation, you can start using p
right away.
Usage
Usage: p [COMMAND] [args]
Commands:
p Output versions installed
p status Output current status
p <version> Activate to Python <version>
p latest Activate to the latest Python release
p stable Activate to the latest stable Python release
p use <version> [args ...] Execute Python <version> with [args ...]
p bin <version> Output bin path for <version>
p rm <version ...> Remove the given version(s)
p prev Revert to the previously activated version
p default Revert to the system default python version
p ensurepath Add python path to your search path
p unpkg <pkg ...> Remove the given name(s) pip packages and unused dependencies
p shell Add python bin path to a new bash shell
p p Wrap pip command
p px Wrap pipx command
p py Wrap poetry command
p up Update all pipx libs,Wrap pipdate command,update all pip packages
p migrate <ver1> <ver2> Migrate pip package from a Python version to another
p ls Output the versions of Python available
p ls latest Output the latest Python version available
p ls stable Output the latest stable Python version available
p i <version> Install Python <version> from prebuilt binaries
Options:
-V, --version Output current version of p
-h, --help Display help information
Environment variables:
P_PREFIX Python versions installation dir ,default: ~/.local
PY_INSTALL_FLAG Python installation configure flags, eg: --enable-optimizations
Installation Python dependencies(Option)
Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install -y zstd curl build-essential zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev
Centos/Rocky/Alma/Fedora:
sudo yum install -y zstd curl which diffutils perl gcc gcc-c++ zlib-devel xz-devel sqlite-devel libffi-devel
Installation
After downloading the Bash script, simply copy it over to your $PATH
and p
will take care of the rest.
$ curl -o p https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomasky/pym3/master/bin/p
$ chmod +x p
$ mv p /usr/local/bin
Alternatively, you can install p
via npm
:
npm install -g pym3
So far, p
has only been tested in Bash. If you can make p
work on another shell, please send in a pull request!
Set python
versions installation dir:
# default is `~/.local`
# add this to .bashrc
export P_PREFIX=/usr/local
Set python
download mirror:
# add this to .bashrc
export PYTHON_MIRROR=https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/python/
Updating
Simply follow the above steps and swap out the old Bash script with the new one!

- greater abstraction between Python 2.x.x and 3.x.x
- per-directory/project Python version
- also manage PyPy
FAQs
- How does
p
differ frompyenv
?p
is designed for the average Python user. You can get up and running with the latest development build of Python with one simple command:p latest
. No configuration is necessary;p
manages everything for you.- On the other hand,
pyenv
is for the more advanced user who is comfortable configuring their Python environment to all their needs.p
provides the basics in one easy to use aesthetically-pleasing command. - Additionally,
p
is easier to use. To switch your Python version, simply runp
and you'll be presented with a list of installed Python versions to select from that you can scroll through with your arrow keys and select with the return key. p
is great at dealing with any version of Python. If it's not installed, runningp <version>
will download the source, configure it for your system, and compile it, all in one simple command.
- How does
p
work?p
stores each Python version installed in/usr/local/p/versions/python
. When a Python version is activated,p
creates a symbolic link to the Python binary located at/usr/local/p/versions/python/python
. Sincep
prefixes the $PATH with/usr/local/p/versions/python
, this version ofpython
is found first; hence, it is used over the default version of Python installed on your system.
- How do I revert back to my default Python version?
- Simply run
p default
andp
will remove the symbolic link described above; therefore reverting back to your default Python version.
- Simply run
- Does
p
download the source each time I activate or install a version?- Nope.
p
stores the source for each of the versions installed, allowing for quick activations between already-installed versions.
- Nope.
- How do I get this working on Windows?
- Unfortunately,
p
is not supported on Windows at the time. If you know of a workaround, send in a pull request!
- Unfortunately,
