@techtonik I do not understand what you mean. Could you please explain the problem in more detail?

tox -e py Working despite not being listed?

[obestwalter]

I understand that if I have If I create a minimal setup.py and an empty tox.ini I get python as output of tox -l - I also understand that I can use py although it is not listed - I can also use py27 and py34 - they are not listed either. Should they also be listed? Or should we think about what should actually be listed on invocation of -l/--listenvs? There is a proposal to list all defined environments already in #271. So I guess we can close this and move the discussion there?

[techtonik]

You've got everything right. The issue is that people still need to read RTFM to use tox conveniently and to understand what existing tox invocations mean.

@techtonik o.k. let's move this discussion then to #271 and see what we can do about making tox more intuitive - closing this one then :)
