Installation

Basic

Add this line to your .zshenv, .bashrc or .bash-profile:

source /path/to/virtualenv-autodetect.sh

Oh-My-Zsh

git clone [email protected]:RobertDeRose/virtualenv-autodetect.git $ZSH_CUSTOM/plugins/virtualenv-autodetect
sed -Ei 's/plugins=\((.*)\)/plugins=\(\1 virtualenv-autodetect\)/' $HOME/.zshrc

What it does

• This will search for a Virtual Environment (VENV) to activate when you enter a directory or any of its descendants.
• VENV directory is detected automatically by locating a bin/activate inside that contains the strings "source bin/activate"
• An active VENV will be replaced with a deeper one if a descendant contains it's own VENV
• The VENV will be deactivated automatically when changing to a directory that no longer has a parent to a VENV
