Installation
------------
You can install virtualenv with ``pip install virtualenv``, or the `latest
development version <https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/tarball/develop#egg=virtualenv-dev>`_
with ``pip install virtualenv==dev``.
You can also use ``easy_install``, or if you have no Python package manager
available at all, you can just grab the single file `virtualenv.py`_ and run
it with ``python virtualenv.py``.
.. _virtualenv.py: https://raw.github.com/pypa/virtualenv/master/virtualenv.py
What It Does
------------
``virtualenv`` is a tool to create isolated Python environments.
The basic problem being addressed is one of dependencies and versions,
and indirectly permissions. Imagine you have an application that
needs version 1 of LibFoo, but another application requires version
2. How can you use both these applications? If you install
everything into ``/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages`` (or whatever your
platform's standard location is), it's easy to end up in a situation
where you unintentionally upgrade an application that shouldn't be
upgraded.
Or more generally, what if you want to install an application *and
leave it be*? If an application works, any change in its libraries or
the versions of those libraries can break the application.
Also, what if you can't install packages into the global
``site-packages`` directory? For instance, on a shared host.
In all these cases, ``virtualenv`` can help you. It creates an
environment that has its own installation directories, that doesn't
share libraries with other virtualenv environments (and optionally
doesn't access the globally installed libraries either).
The basic usage is::
$ python virtualenv.py ENV
If you install it you can also just do ``virtualenv ENV``.
This creates ``ENV/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages``, where any libraries you
install will go. It also creates ``ENV/bin/python``, which is a Python
interpreter that uses this environment. Anytime you use that interpreter
(including when a script has ``#!/path/to/ENV/bin/python`` in it) the libraries
in that environment will be used.
It also installs either `Setuptools
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/setuptools>`_ or `distribute
<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute>`_ into the environment. To use
Distribute instead of setuptools, just call virtualenv like this::
$ python virtualenv.py --distribute ENV
You can also set the environment variable VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE.
A new virtualenv also includes the `pip <http://pypy.python.org/pypi/pip>`_
installer, so you can use ``ENV/bin/pip`` to install additional packages into
the environment.
Environment variables and configuration files
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
virtualenv can not only be configured by passing command line options such as
``--distribute`` but also by two other means:
- Environment variables
Each command line option is automatically used to look for environment
variables with the name format ``VIRTUALENV_<UPPER_NAME>``. That means
the name of the command line options are capitalized and have dashes
(``'-'``) replaced with underscores (``'_'``).
For example, to automatically install Distribute instead of setuptools
you can also set an environment variable::
$ export VIRTUALENV_USE_DISTRIBUTE=true
$ python virtualenv.py ENV
It's the same as passing the option to virtualenv directly::
$ python virtualenv.py --distribute ENV
This also works for appending command line options, like ``--find-links``.
Just leave an empty space between the passsed values, e.g.::
$ export VIRTUALENV_EXTRA_SEARCH_DIR="/path/to/dists /path/to/other/dists"
$ virtualenv ENV
is the same as calling::
$ python virtualenv.py --extra-search-dir=/path/to/dists --extra-search-dir=/path/to/other/dists ENV
- Config files
virtualenv also looks for a standard ini config file. On Unix and Mac OS X
that's ``$HOME/.virtualenv/virtualenv.ini`` and on Windows, it's
``%HOME%\\virtualenv\\virtualenv.ini``.
The names of the settings are derived from the long command line option,
e.g. the option ``--distribute`` would look like this::
[virtualenv]
distribute = true
Appending options like ``--extra-search-dir`` can be written on multiple
lines::
[virtualenv]
extra-search-dir =
/path/to/dists
/path/to/other/dists
Please have a look at the output of ``virtualenv --help`` for a full list
of supported options.
Windows Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some paths within the virtualenv are slightly different on Windows: scripts and
executables on Windows go in ``ENV\Scripts\`` instead of ``ENV/bin/`` and
libraries go in ``ENV\Lib\`` rather than ``ENV/lib/``.
To create a virtualenv under a path with spaces in it on Windows, you'll need
the `win32api <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/>`_ library installed.
PyPy Support
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beginning with virtualenv version 1.5 `PyPy <http://pypy.org>`_ is
supported. To use PyPy 1.4 or 1.4.1, you need a version of virtualenv >= 1.5.
To use PyPy 1.5, you need a version of virtualenv >= 1.6.1.
Creating Your Own Bootstrap Scripts
-----------------------------------
While this creates an environment, it doesn't put anything into the
environment. Developers may find it useful to distribute a script
that sets up a particular environment, for example a script that
installs a particular web application.
To create a script like this, call
``virtualenv.create_bootstrap_script(extra_text)``, and write the
result to your new bootstrapping script. Here's the documentation
from the docstring:
Creates a bootstrap script, which is like this script but with
extend_parser, adjust_options, and after_install hooks.
This returns a string that (written to disk of course) can be used
as a bootstrap script with your own customizations. The script
will be the standard virtualenv.py script, with your extra text
added (your extra text should be Python code).
If you include these functions, they will be called:
``extend_parser(optparse_parser)``:
You can add or remove options from the parser here.
``adjust_options(options, args)``:
You can change options here, or change the args (if you accept
different kinds of arguments, be sure you modify ``args`` so it is
only ``[DEST_DIR]``).
``after_install(options, home_dir)``:
After everything is installed, this function is called. This
is probably the function you are most likely to use. An
example would be::
def after_install(options, home_dir):
if sys.platform == 'win32':
bin = 'Scripts'
else:
bin = 'bin'
subprocess.call([join(home_dir, bin, 'easy_install'),
'MyPackage'])
subprocess.call([join(home_dir, bin, 'my-package-script'),
'setup', home_dir])
This example immediately installs a package, and runs a setup
script from that package.
Bootstrap Example
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a more concrete example of how you could use this::
import virtualenv, textwrap
output = virtualenv.create_bootstrap_script(textwrap.dedent("""
import os, subprocess
def after_install(options, home_dir):
etc = join(home_dir, 'etc')
if not os.path.exists(etc):
os.makedirs(etc)
subprocess.call([join(home_dir, 'bin', 'easy_install'),
'BlogApplication'])
subprocess.call([join(home_dir, 'bin', 'paster'),
'make-config', 'BlogApplication',
join(etc, 'blog.ini')])
subprocess.call([join(home_dir, 'bin', 'paster'),
'setup-app', join(etc, 'blog.ini')])
"""))
f = open('blog-bootstrap.py', 'w').write(output)
Another example is available `here
<https://github.com/socialplanning/fassembler/blob/master/fassembler/create-venv-script.py>`_.
activate script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In a newly created virtualenv there will be a ``bin/activate`` shell
script. For Windows systems, activation scripts are provided for CMD.exe
and Powershell.
On Posix systems you can do::
$ source bin/activate
This will change your ``$PATH`` to point to the virtualenv's ``bin/``
directory. (You have to use ``source`` because it changes your shell
environment in-place.) This is all it does; it's purely a convenience. If
you directly run a script or the python interpreter from the virtualenv's
``bin/`` directory (e.g. ``path/to/env/bin/pip`` or
``/path/to/env/bin/python script.py``) there's no need for activation.
After activating an environment you can use the function ``deactivate`` to
undo the changes to your ``$PATH``.
The ``activate`` script will also modify your shell prompt to indicate
which environment is currently active. You can disable this behavior,
which can be useful if you have your own custom prompt that already
displays the active environment name. To do so, set the
``VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT`` environment variable to any non-empty
value before running the ``activate`` script.
On Windows you just do::
> \path\to\env\Scripts\activate
And type `deactivate` to undo the changes.
Based on your active shell (CMD.exe or Powershell.exe), Windows will use
either activate.bat or activate.ps1 (as appropriate) to activate the
virtual environment. If using Powershell, see the notes about code signing
below.
.. note::
If using Powershell, the ``activate`` script is subject to the
`execution policies`_ on the system. By default on Windows 7, the system's
excution policy is set to ``Restricted``, meaning no scripts like the
``activate`` script are allowed to be executed. But that can't stop us
from changing that slightly to allow it to be executed.
In order to use the script, you have to relax your system's execution
policy to ``AllSigned``, meaning all scripts on the system must be
digitally signed to be executed. Since the virtualenv activation
script is signed by one of the authors (Jannis Leidel) this level of
the execution policy suffices. As an adminstrator run::
PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned
Then you'll be asked to trust the signer, when executing the script.
You will be prompted with the following::
PS C:\> virtualenv .\foo
New python executable in C:\foo\Scripts\python.exe
Installing setuptools................done.
Installing pip...................done.
PS C:\> .\foo\scripts\activate
Do you want to run software from this untrusted publisher?
File C:\foo\scripts\activate.ps1 is published by E=jannis@leidel.info,
CN=Jannis Leidel, L=Berlin, S=Berlin, C=DE, Description=581796-Gh7xfJxkxQSIO4E0
and is not trusted on your system. Only run scripts from trusted publishers.
[V] Never run [D] Do not run [R] Run once [A] Always run [?] Help
(default is "D"):A
(foo) PS C:\>
If you select ``[A] Always Run``, the certificate will be added to the
Trusted Publishers of your user account, and will be trusted in this
user's context henceforth. If you select ``[R] Run Once``, the script will
be run, but you will be prometed on a subsequent invocation. Advanced users
can add the signer's certificate to the Trusted Publishers of the Computer
account to apply to all users (though this technique is out of scope of this
document).
Alternatively, you may relax the system execution policy to allow running
of local scripts without verifying the code signature using the following::
PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Since the ``activate.ps1`` script is generated locally for each virtualenv,
it is not considered a remote script and can then be executed.
.. _`execution policies`: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347641.aspx
The ``--system-site-packages`` Option
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you build with ``virtualenv --system-site-packages ENV``, your virtual
environment will inherit packages from ``/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages``
(or wherever your global site-packages directory is).
This can be used if you have control over the global site-packages directory,
and you want to depend on the packages there. If you want isolation from the
global system, do not use this flag.
Using Virtualenv without ``bin/python``
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes you can't or don't want to use the Python interpreter
created by the virtualenv. For instance, in a `mod_python
<http://www.modpython.org/>`_ or `mod_wsgi <http://www.modwsgi.org/>`_
environment, there is only one interpreter.
Luckily, it's easy. You must use the custom Python interpreter to
*install* libraries. But to *use* libraries, you just have to be sure
the path is correct. A script is available to correct the path. You
can setup the environment like::
activate_this = '/path/to/env/bin/activate_this.py'
execfile(activate_this, dict(__file__=activate_this))
This will change ``sys.path`` and even change ``sys.prefix``, but also allow
you to use an existing interpreter. Items in your environment will show up
first on ``sys.path``, before global items. However, global items will
always be accessible (as if the ``--system-site-packages`` flag had been used
in creating the environment, whether it was or not). Also, this cannot undo
the activation of other environments, or modules that have been imported.
You shouldn't try to, for instance, activate an environment before a web
request; you should activate *one* environment as early as possible, and not
do it again in that process.
Making Environments Relocatable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: this option is somewhat experimental, and there are probably
caveats that have not yet been identified. Also this does not
currently work on Windows.
Normally environments are tied to a specific path. That means that
you cannot move an environment around or copy it to another computer.
You can fix up an environment to make it relocatable with the
command::
$ virtualenv --relocatable ENV
This will make some of the files created by setuptools or distribute
use relative paths, and will change all the scripts to use ``activate_this.py``
instead of using the location of the Python interpreter to select the
environment.
**Note:** you must run this after you've installed *any* packages into
the environment. If you make an environment relocatable, then
install a new package, you must run ``virtualenv --relocatable``
again.
Also, this **does not make your packages cross-platform**. You can
move the directory around, but it can only be used on other similar
computers. Some known environmental differences that can cause
incompatibilities: a different version of Python, when one platform
uses UCS2 for its internal unicode representation and another uses
UCS4 (a compile-time option), obvious platform changes like Windows
vs. Linux, or Intel vs. ARM, and if you have libraries that bind to C
libraries on the system, if those C libraries are located somewhere
different (either different versions, or a different filesystem
layout).
If you use this flag to create an environment, currently, the
``--system-site-packages`` option will be implied.
The ``--extra-search-dir`` Option
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When it creates a new environment, virtualenv installs either
setuptools or distribute, and pip. In normal operation, the latest
releases of these packages are fetched from the `Python Package Index
<http://pypi.python.org>`_ (PyPI). In some circumstances, this
behavior may not be wanted, for example if you are using virtualenv
during a deployment and do not want to depend on Internet access and
PyPI availability.
As an alternative, you can provide your own versions of setuptools,
distribute and/or pip on the filesystem, and tell virtualenv to use
those distributions instead of downloading them from the Internet. To
use this feature, pass one or more ``--extra-search-dir`` options to
virtualenv like this::
$ virtualenv --extra-search-dir=/path/to/distributions ENV
The ``/path/to/distributions`` path should point to a directory that
contains setuptools, distribute and/or pip distributions. Setuptools
distributions must be ``.egg`` files; distribute and pip distributions
should be `.tar.gz` source distributions.
Virtualenv will still download these packages if no satisfactory local
distributions are found.
If you are really concerned about virtualenv fetching these packages
from the Internet and want to ensure that it never will, you can also
provide an option ``--never-download`` like so::
$ virtualenv --extra-search-dir=/path/to/distributions --never-download ENV
If this option is provided, virtualenv will never try to download
setuptools/distribute or pip. Instead, it will exit with status code 1
if it fails to find local distributions for any of these required
packages. The local distribution lookup is done in this order and the
following locations:
#. The current directory.
#. The directory where virtualenv.py is located.
#. A ``virtualenv_support`` directory relative to the directory where
virtualenv.py is located.
#. If the file being executed is not named virtualenv.py (i.e. is a boot
script), a ``virtualenv_support`` directory relative to wherever
virtualenv.py is actually installed.
Compare & Contrast with Alternatives
------------------------------------
There are several alternatives that create isolated environments:
* ``workingenv`` (which I do not suggest you use anymore) is the
predecessor to this library. It used the main Python interpreter,
but relied on setting ``$PYTHONPATH`` to activate the environment.
This causes problems when running Python scripts that aren't part of
the environment (e.g., a globally installed ``hg`` or ``bzr``). It
also conflicted a lot with Setuptools.
* `virtual-python
<http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#creating-a-virtual-python>`_
is also a predecessor to this library. It uses only symlinks, so it
couldn't work on Windows. It also symlinks over the *entire*
standard library and global ``site-packages``. As a result, it
won't see new additions to the global ``site-packages``.
This script only symlinks a small portion of the standard library
into the environment, and so on Windows it is feasible to simply
copy these files over. Also, it creates a new/empty
``site-packages`` and also adds the global ``site-packages`` to the
path, so updates are tracked separately. This script also installs
Setuptools automatically, saving a step and avoiding the need for
network access.
* `zc.buildout <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zc.buildout>`_ doesn't
create an isolated Python environment in the same style, but
achieves similar results through a declarative config file that sets
up scripts with very particular packages. As a declarative system,
it is somewhat easier to repeat and manage, but more difficult to
experiment with. ``zc.buildout`` includes the ability to setup
non-Python systems (e.g., a database server or an Apache instance).
I *strongly* recommend anyone doing application development or
deployment use one of these tools.
Contributing
------------
Refer to the `contributing to pip`_ documentation - it applies equally to
virtualenv.
Virtualenv's release schedule is tied to pip's -- each time there's a new pip
release, there will be a new virtualenv release that bundles the new version of
pip.
.. _contributing to pip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/contributing.html
Running the tests
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virtualenv's test suite is small and not yet at all comprehensive, but we aim
to grow it.
The easy way to run tests (handles test dependencies automatically)::
$ python setup.py test
If you want to run only a selection of the tests, you'll need to run them
directly with nose instead. Create a virtualenv, and install required
packages::
$ pip install nose mock
Run nosetests::
$ nosetests
Or select just a single test file to run::
$ nosetests tests.test_virtualenv

* Set ``distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()['LIBDIR']`` (based on
``sys.real_prefix``) which is reported to help building on Windows.
* Make ``deactivate`` work on ksh
* Fixes for ``--python``: make it work with ``--relocatable`` and the
symlink created to the exact Python version.
1.3.3
~~~~~
* Use Windows newlines in ``activate.bat``, which has been reported to help
when using non-ASCII directory names.
* Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1.
* Added a function ``virtualenv.install_python`` for more fine-grained
access to what ``virtualenv.create_environment`` does.
* Fix `a problem <https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/241581>`_
with Windows and paths that contain spaces.
* If ``/path/to/env/.pydistutils.cfg`` exists (or
``/path/to/env/pydistutils.cfg`` on Windows systems) then ignore
``~/.pydistutils.cfg`` and use that other file instead.
* Fix ` a problem
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/340050>`_ picking up
some ``.so`` libraries in ``/usr/local``.
1.3.2
~~~~~
* Remove the ``[install] prefix = ...`` setting from the virtualenv
``distutils.cfg`` -- this has been causing problems for a lot of
people, in rather obscure ways.
* If you use a `boot script <./index.html#boot-script>`_ it will attempt to import ``virtualenv``
and find a pre-downloaded Setuptools egg using that.
* Added platform-specific paths, like ``/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2``
1.3.1
~~~~~
* Real Python 2.6 compatibility. Backported the Python 2.6 updates to
``site.py``, including `user directories
<http://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-370-per-user-site-packages-directory>`_
(this means older versions of Python will support user directories,
whether intended or not).
* Always set ``[install] prefix`` in ``distutils.cfg`` -- previously
on some platforms where a system-wide ``distutils.cfg`` was present
with a ``prefix`` setting, packages would be installed globally
(usually in ``/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages``).
* Sometimes Cygwin seems to leave ``.exe`` off ``sys.executable``; a
workaround is added.
* Fix ``--python`` option.
* Fixed handling of Jython environments that use a
jython-complete.jar.
1.3
~~~
* Update to Setuptools 0.6c9
* Added an option ``virtualenv --relocatable EXISTING_ENV``, which
will make an existing environment "relocatable" -- the paths will
not be absolute in scripts, ``.egg-info`` and ``.pth`` files. This
may assist in building environments that can be moved and copied.
You have to run this *after* any new packages installed.
* Added ``bin/activate_this.py``, a file you can use like
``execfile("path_to/activate_this.py",
dict(__file__="path_to/activate_this.py"))`` -- this will activate
the environment in place, similar to what `the mod_wsgi example
does <http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnvironments>`_.
* For Mac framework builds of Python, the site-packages directory
``/Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages`` is added to ``sys.path``, from
Andrea Rech.
* Some platform-specific modules in Macs are added to the path now
(``plat-darwin/``, ``plat-mac/``, ``plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages``),
from Andrea Rech.
* Fixed a small Bashism in the ``bin/activate`` shell script.
* Added ``__future__`` to the list of required modules, for Python
2.3. You'll still need to backport your own ``subprocess`` module.
* Fixed the ``__classpath__`` entry in Jython's ``sys.path`` taking
precedent over virtualenv's libs.
1.2
~~~
* Added a ``--python`` option to select the Python interpreter.
* Add ``warnings`` to the modules copied over, for Python 2.6 support.
* Add ``sets`` to the module copied over for Python 2.3 (though Python
2.3 still probably doesn't work).
1.1.1
~~~~~
* Added support for Jython 2.5.
1.1
~~~
* Added support for Python 2.6.
* Fix a problem with missing ``DLLs/zlib.pyd`` on Windows. Create
* ``bin/python`` (or ``bin/python.exe``) even when you run virtualenv
with an interpreter named, e.g., ``python2.4``
* Fix MacPorts Python
* Added --unzip-setuptools option
* Update to Setuptools 0.6c8
* If the current directory is not writable, run ez_setup.py in ``/tmp``
* Copy or symlink over the ``include`` directory so that packages will
more consistently compile.
1.0
~~~
* Fix build on systems that use ``/usr/lib64``, distinct from
``/usr/lib`` (specifically CentOS x64).
* Fixed bug in ``--clear``.
* Fixed typos in ``deactivate.bat``.
* Preserve ``$PYTHONPATH`` when calling subprocesses.
0.9.2
~~~~~
* Fix include dir copying on Windows (makes compiling possible).
* Include the main ``lib-tk`` in the path.
* Patch ``distutils.sysconfig``: ``get_python_inc`` and
``get_python_lib`` to point to the global locations.
* Install ``distutils.cfg`` before Setuptools, so that system
customizations of ``distutils.cfg`` won't effect the installation.
* Add ``bin/pythonX.Y`` to the virtualenv (in addition to
``bin/python``).
* Fixed an issue with Mac Framework Python builds, and absolute paths
(from Ronald Oussoren).
0.9.1
~~~~~
* Improve ability to create a virtualenv from inside a virtualenv.
* Fix a little bug in ``bin/activate``.
* Actually get ``distutils.cfg`` to work reliably.
0.9
~~~
* Added ``lib-dynload`` and ``config`` to things that need to be
copied over in an environment.
* Copy over or symlink the ``include`` directory, so that you can
build packages that need the C headers.
* Include a ``distutils`` package, so you can locally update
``distutils.cfg`` (in ``lib/pythonX.Y/distutils/distutils.cfg``).
* Better avoid downloading Setuptools, and hitting PyPI on environment
creation.
* Fix a problem creating a ``lib64/`` directory.
* Should work on MacOSX Framework builds (the default Python
installations on Mac). Thanks to Ronald Oussoren.
0.8.4
~~~~~
* Windows installs would sometimes give errors about ``sys.prefix`` that
were inaccurate.
* Slightly prettier output.
0.8.3
~~~~~
* Added support for Windows.
0.8.2
~~~~~
* Give a better warning if you are on an unsupported platform (Mac
Framework Pythons, and Windows).
* Give error about running while inside a workingenv.
* Give better error message about Python 2.3.
0.8.1
~~~~~
Fixed packaging of the library.
