venvtools

A simple setuptools command to help with virtualenv

DEPRECATED

Use either poetry or pipx according to your use case.

Motivation

The objective of this utility is to provide means for easy creation of a virtual environment for local packages using python's standard venv module and to integrate with setuptools distribution model for seamless resolution and installation of dependencies.

How to use

Inside your package root folder execute the following to create the venv and install your package dependencies inside it:

python ./setup.py venv

or (if your setup.py is executable)

./setup.py venv

Currently updating dependencies inside the venv is not working correctly. It's recommended to recreate the venv to archive it.

(This will be fixed in a posterior version)

./setup.py venv --rm && ./setup.py venv
