What exactly does pyenv insert into your PATH: $PYENV_ROOT/shims or $PYENV_ROOT/bin?

[lackhoa]

In the latest README, there's this paragraph

pyenv works by inserting a directory of shims at the front of your PATH:
$(pyenv root)/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

But then the configuration step says this

export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"

I installed pyenv on MacOS and this $PYENV_ROOT/bin doesn't exist, only $PYENV_ROOT/shims. I know the doc says that I don't need to modify PATH on Mac, but then pyenv doesn't work because my PATH isn't modified.

What's going on: is the doc wrong or is is it something wrong with my installation?

The version is 2.0.4, installed from homebrew.

https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#advanced-configuration:

Step 1 is done by eval "$(pyenv init --path)", the others are done by eval "$(pyenv init -)".

1. Sets up your shims path. This is the only requirement for pyenv to function properly. You can do this by hand by prepending $(pyenv root)/shims to your $PATH.

I mistooked the eval "$(pyenv init --path)" part with eval "$(pyenv init -)". Thanks!
