Project mention: Automatic Python shebang lines for venv and conda environment finding | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-04
If I understood correctly: you may also be interested in https://github.com/brettcannon/python-launcher (by one of the core Python devs). Although that specifically targets Linux. On Windows, the provided launcher is already aware of venvs (https://peps.python.org/pep-0486/) - although it only uses the currently activated venv, to my understanding.
Personally I'm not sure I like the idea of searching based on a folder name, as opposed to having some explicit registry of venvs. But this does seem to be more functionality than the existing options offer.
Out of curiousity, how do you typically make and organize your venvs?

xrem
(Cross-Platform) An open source approach to locally record and enable searching everything you view on any computer.
Project mention: Show HN: Open Rewind – POC for audio and screen and video streaming to S3 | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-04I took a crack at this, but had trouble building a community. It's all open source.
Native MacOS in swift (the popular one with OCR / text selection from history), and cross platform (rust) without text selection from history and very much POC.
