What would be the advantage of hex
over base64.urlsafe_b64encode
?
@icbd did you know you can specify the name of your virtualenv with an environment variable override as well?
1. Problem Summary:
The issue questions the use of base64.urlsafe_b64encode
in generating a unique hash for the virtual environment directory name. The user believes using hex()
might be sufficient and seeks clarification on the rationale behind the chosen method.
2. Comment Analysis:
hex()
over base64.urlsafe_b64encode
, highlighting the need to consider the benefits of the existing approach.3. Proposed Resolution:
While the user's suggestion of using hex()
to generate the hash is valid, base64.urlsafe_b64encode
offers specific advantages in this context:
Therefore, continuing to use base64.urlsafe_b64encode
remains a suitable approach for generating the virtual environment hash.
4. Code Snippet:
No code changes are necessary based on the current analysis.
5. Additional Steps:
pipenv/project.py
file explaining the rationale for using base64.urlsafe_b64encode
for generating the virtual environment hash.base64.urlsafe_b64encode
in the issue thread, pointing to the documentation for further details.By addressing the user's concerns and providing clear documentation, we can enhance understanding and maintain the benefits of the existing approach.
When I initialized the
Pipefile
, pipenv helped me create the directory of virtualenv, e.g.creator CPython3Posix(dest=/Users/icbd/.local/share/virtualenvs/未命名文件夹-AsmMYtXt
I was curious about how the name of this directory was generated, so I found the source code implementation.

Does the processing of
base64.urlsafe_b64encode
have any special considerations? It seems that using hex() would be enough.Thanks
