virtualenv-rewrite 14.1.0

Virtual Python Environment Builder (complete rewrite)

This is based on the rewrite branch of virtualenv: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tree/rewrite

What pythons are currently supported in this fork:

• Python 2.6

• PyPy

• PyPy3 (on Windows it doesn’t really work cause pip is broken on the 2.4.0 release)

• Python 2.6

• Python 2.7

• Python 3.2 (not tested, may work)

• Python 3.3

• Python 3.4

What’s currently tested (on Windows and Linux ):

• creation

• recreation

• --system-site-packages (incl. ordering of sites)

• .pth support

• bin scripts

• tox integration

• C extensions compile properly inside

Debian-flavored linuxes are also supported (with their messy patches on site.py/distutils/sysconfig).

What’s missing:

• No symlinks or hardlinks, just dumb copies.

• Relocation support (it wasn’t really supported in legacy virtualenv anyway).

• You tell me …

Try it

To install this, just pip install --ignore-installed https://github.com/ionelmc/virtualenv/archive/develop.zip.

PyPI package

There’s an alternative package on PyPI: virtualenv-rewrite:

pip install virtualenv-rewrite

Note

If you install it over the legacy virtualenv you may have issues. To keep things simple you should uninstall it before, eg:

pip uninstall virtualenv
pip install virtualenv-rewrite
