pyenv installer

This tool installs pyenv and friends. It is inspired by rbenv-installer. It is forked from its official version https://www.github.com/yyuu/pyenv-installer so that we can make sure no malicious code is added and we can use it in our new employee setup scripts.

Installation / Update / Uninstallation

There are two ways to install pyenv. The PyPi support is not tested by many users yet, so the direct way is still recommended if you want to play it safe.

Github way (recommended)

Install:

$ curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Patreon/pyenv-installer/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash

Update:

$ pyenv update

Uninstall: pyenv is installed within $PYENV_ROOT (default: ~/.pyenv). To uninstall, just remove it:

$ rm -fr ~/.pyenv

and remove these three lines from .bashrc:

export PATH="~/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

If you need, export USE_GIT_URI to use git:// instad of https// for git clone.

PyPi way

WARNING still a very hacky proof of concept. Does not work with Python 3 at all yet and in Python 2 only with the use of the --egg parameter.

Install:

$ pip install --egg pyenv

In the current implementation updates and uninstallation works exactly like the github way.

NOTE: pip freeze will not show pyenv as installed as this tool is just a thin wrapper around the shell install script.

Development and testing

The project on github contains a setup for vagrant to test the installer inside a vagrant managed virtual image.

If you don't know vagrant yet: just install the latest package, open a shell in this project directory and say

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Now you are inside the vagrant container and your prompt should like something like vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$

The project (this repository) is mapped into the vagrant image at /vagrant

$ cd /vagrant
$ python setup.py install
$ echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

Pyenv should be installed and responding now.
