Where is $PYENV_ROOT/bin?

[drewcassidy]

The readme setup includes lines like

set -Ux PYENV_ROOT $HOME/.pyenv
fish_add_path $PYENV_ROOT/bin

yet in other places its

$(pyenv root)/shims:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

I don't see a bin folder in my .pyenv folder, but I DO have a shims folder. Is this an error in the readme or am I missing something?

You won't have $PYENV_ROOT/bin if Pyenv is installed at a path different than $PYENV_ROOT -- e.g. with Homebrew.

That's why the suggested setup for Bash/Zsh only adds that directory to PATH if pyenv is not already on PATH.

We did not duplicate this feature in Fish setup because we're less familiar with its syntax. We'll gladly accept a PR fixing that.

So $PYENV_ROOT/bin includes pyenv itself, while $PYENV_ROOT/shims contains all the python shims?

[native-api]

"Pyenv itself" constitutes what you can see in the code tree at https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv . In the course of its work, it also creates some directories under $PYENV_ROOT such as shims and versions.
