Pyromania venv Manager

Pyromania helps make venv management straightforward, inspired by virtualenvwrapper. By default, Pyromania will create a venv named venv in the current directory, and:

• Install the latest versions of pip and wheel.
• Includes handy options for switching to the site-packages folder.
• Creates pre and post activation hook scripts for additional customization.
• Activating your venv will automagically move to your project directory with a default pre-activation hook.

System Wide Installation

To install the pyro command for all users on your system with sudo escalation:

curl -sS https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlipperPA/pyromania/main/install-sudo.sh | sh

An Ansible role for installation is also available.

Pre and Post Activation Hooks

Pyromania will create two hook files in your venv which can be modified for pre and post activation actions:

• venv/pre_activate.sh: script is run before the venv is activated.
• venv/post_activate.sh: script is run after the venv is activated.
