+re-env
+======
+
+This is a simple bash function that solves the problem of activating a Python
+virtualenv that is in the current directory or a parent directory. It
+recursively searches for a directory named venv and activates the bin/activate
+script inside that directory.
+
+Rather than storing all virtualenvs in a single directory, as required by the
+workon script included with virtualenv-wrappers, this script assumes that the
+virtualenv for a given codebase is in the same directory as the code it is
+being maintained for. For example, my code looks something like this:
+
+/home/dusty/code/
++ project1
+| + src
+| | + pkg1
+| | + pkg2
+| + doc
+| + venv
++ project2
+| + src
+| + venv27
+| + venvpypy
++ project3
+| + venv
+
+If I am in the `code/project1/src/pkg1` directory, I can run the `v` function and it will
+find and activate the virtualenv script in `code/project1/venv/bin/activate`. If I am in
+the `project2/src` directory and I run the `v venvpypy` command, it will find and activate
+the virtualenv in `code/project2/venvpypy/bin/activate`.
+
+The easiest way to install is to copy the function in your ~/.bashrc.
+
+Note that I am a Python programmer, this may not be the prettiest bash you've seen.
