    Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

    • I hail from the Node.js lands, where version managers like nvm download pre-built binaries when possible. I recently had to set up Pyenv on a low-end Ubuntu VM and compiling CPython was painfully slow. I know I can download pre-built binaries with apt-get, but is there a dedicated Python version manager that does the same thing?

    • I did some digging, you could give "p" a try - don't ask me why it's called that. I don't know if it solves the issue with building from source, but there really aren't that many options for Pyenv.
