Python
======
Enables local Python and local Python package installation.
Local Python Installation
-------------------------
[pyenv][4] builds and installs multiple Python versions locally in the home
directory.
This module prepends the pyenv directory to the path variable to enable the
execution of `pyenv`.
### Usage
Install Python versions with `pyenv install` into *~/.pyenv/versions*.
Local Package Installation
--------------------------
Since version 2.6, Python supports per user package installation, as defined in
[PEP 370][1].
This module prepends per user site directories to the relevant path variables
to enable the execution of user installed scripts and the reading of
documentation.
### Usage
Install packages into the per user site directory with `easy_install --user` or
`pip install --user`.
virtualenvwrapper
-----------------
[virtualenvwrapper][2] is a frontend to the popular [virtualenv][3] utility.
virtualenv creates isolated Python environments and virtualenvwrapper provides
convenient shell functions to create, switch, and manage them.
### Usage
Install virtualenvwrapper.
Virtual environments are stored in *~/.virtualenvs*.
There are configuration variables that have to be set to enable certain features.
If you wish to use these features, export the variables in *~/.zshenv*
The variable `$PROJECT_HOME` tells virtualenvwrapper where to place project
working directories. It must be set and the directory created before `mkproject`
is used. Replace *Developer* with your projects directory.
export PROJECT_HOME="$HOME/Developer"
The variable `$VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_ARGS` tells virtualenvwrapper what
arguments to pass to `virtualenv`. For example, set the value to
*--no-site-packages* to ensure that all new environments are isolated from the
system site-packages directory.
export VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_VIRTUALENV_ARGS='--no-site-packages'
Aliases
-------
- `py` is short for `python`.
Functions
---------
- `python-info` exposes information about the Python environment via the
`$python_info` associative array.
Theming
-------
To display the name of the current virtual enviroment in a prompt, define the
following style in the `prompt_name_setup` function.
# %v - virtualenv name.
zstyle ':prezto:module:python:info:virtualenv' format 'virtualenv:%v'
Then add `$python_info[virtualenv]` to `$PROMPT` or `$RPROMPT` and call
`python-info` in the `prompt_name_preexec` hook function.
