pyenv fish: pvm #153

Hi @jorgebucaran!

Just a question, have you ever considered creating a pvm.fish (or pyenv.fish) to create a similar tool for Python. I'd of course guess you are busy as is with all the great tools you've developed. Still curious, and also if you think it is even feasible (considering Python projects often use virtual environments which is a bit different than how Node.js works).

Would it work similarly to nvm.fish? What would you change, add, or remove?

thernstig commented 3 years ago

I love how nvm.fish works, so I'd want it to be as similar as possible in its usage. But I am sure it would have its unqiue challenges in implementing it.

Sounds interesting. Further information welcome! 👍

One good thing to know is that this will require downloading the source code and compile it. So dependencies need to exist like: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/wiki#suggested-build-environment

This is because Python does not keep pre-packaged binaries, see for example on the latest release https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-394/

Do you have any cool name ideas? 😄

pyenv.fish 😆 or pvm (python version manager) ? Names are the hardest part of software engineering...
