dephell venv create

Create virtual environment for current project and environment. Always create virtual environment before executing dephell deps install or dephell package install if you want them to install packages into special virtual environment. Otherwise, these commands will use your current virtual environment (or global interpreter).

Path to virtual environment contains these substitutions:

  • {project} will be replaced by the project name (name of path from project option, this is name of the current directory by default).
  • {digest} will be replaced by the short 4-letters digest of the project path to avoid conflicts for the projects with the same name in different locations.
  • {env} will be replaced by current environment (main by default).

So, virtual environment unique for every project and environment by default.

For example, create virtual environment for docs environment of current project:

$ dephell venv create --env=docs

Get venv path template with dephell inspect config command:

$ dephell inspect config --filter=venv
/home/gram/.local/share/dephell/venvs/{project}-{digest}/{env}

Get path to the current venv (if created) with dephell inspect venv command:

$ dephell inspect venv venv
/home/gram/.local/share/dephell/venvs/dephell-nLn6/main
