Autoenv VS Pipenv

the way I manage (2) is with a kind of DIY pipenv system i've come up with. i have a tool installed in my terminal called autoenv. when i navigate to a new directory, if there's a .env file in it, autoenv executes it. that's basically all autoenv does. I have a .env in my home folder that, among other things, activates my "master" venv. when I create a new project that I want to have its own venv, I just add a .env file to that folder to activate it. otherwise, the master venv is active whenever I roam around my filesystem, functionally serving as a default environment i reuse.

Inspired by autoenv, pyautoenv hooks into the cd command in your shell and will automatically activate a poetry or venv Python environment if that environment is defined in the directory you're cd-ing into. Zsh, Bash, and PowerShell are supported.

There is an autoenv tool you can use to automatically activate a python virtualenv when you cd into a directory but it’s a little annoying to set up https://github.com/hyperupcall/autoenv

But IMO the best solution by far is to use autoenv. There is autoenv for bash and autoenv for zsh.

pipenv solves this by having both kinds of requirement files: Pipfile lists package names and known constraints on which versions can be used, while Pipfile.lock gives specific package versions with hashes. Theoretically the Pipfile (and its lockfile) format were supposed to be a standard that many different tools could use, but I haven't seen it get adopted much outside of pipenv itself, so I'm not sure if it's really going to catch on.

I am sick and tired of the python packaging space pushing this godawful tool for Python. Please just use pip-tools or poetry instead.

ℹ️ You may use a different virtual environment manager like Pipenv or poetry.

Hey lua would you mind looking at this question for me? https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/discussions/5411

Alternatively, you can look into Pipenv, which has a lot more tools to develop secure applications with.
