virtualenv

This is based on the rewrite branch of virtualenv: https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tree/rewrite

What pythons are currently supported in this fork:

• Python 2.6
• PyPy
• PyPy3 (on Windows it doesn't really work cause pip is broken on the 2.4.0 release)
• Python 2.6
• Python 2.7
• Python 3.2 (tested but unsupported, check test results for exact situation)
• Python 3.3
• Python 3.4

What's currently tested (on Windows and Linux ):

• creation
• recreation
• --system-site-packages (incl. ordering of sites)
• .pth support
• bin scripts
• tox integration
• C extensions compile properly inside

Debian-flavored linuxes are also supported (with their messy patches on site.py/distutils/sysconfig).

What's missing:

• No symlinks or hardlinks, just dumb copies.
• Relocation support (it wasn't really supported in legacy virtualenv anyway).
• You tell me ...

Try it

Option 1: release from alternate index

The alternate index: https://anaconda.org/ionelmc/virtualenv

To install:

pip install -i https://pypi.anaconda.org/ionelmc/simple virtualenv

Option 2: development version

pip install --ignore-installed https://github.com/ionelmc/virtualenv/archive/develop.zip

Option 3: release with different name

There's an alternative package on PyPI: virtualenv-rewrite:

pip install virtualenv-rewrite

Note

If you install it over the legacy virtualenv you may have issues. To keep things simple you should uninstall it before, eg:

pip uninstall virtualenv
pip install virtualenv-rewrite
