Manage additional environment variables?

[stevecj]

It would be nice if pyenv could be configured to manage additional environment variables associated with projects using a specific version (especially the version being a virtual environment name).

I have tried using direnv (node package) along with pyenv, but direnv handles symlinks in paths differently, so it does not work for me, and since the variables I want to manage are used by Python code in my projects to begin with…

It is possible to add specific envvars into a launched program's environment (and run other arbitrary code before exec'ing into it) with a plugin that runs a hook at pyenv exec.

E.g., to run code in $(pyenv root)/<environment>.env if it exists:

$(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-env/etc/pyenv.d/exec/set-env.bash :

if [[ -e $PYENV_ROOT/$PYENV_VERSION.env ]]; then
  source "$PYENV_ROOT/$PYENV_VERSION.env"
fi

Nice! Thanks.
