saucy

saucy is a helper tool for finding Python virtual environments.

Motivation

Tired of writing:

shell script, norun user@server:~/important_project/> . env/bin/activate (env) user@server:~/important_project/> .

all the time? Wouldn't it be easier if you didn't have to type env/bin/activate all the time?

Example

In comes saucy. To install saucy, run:

shell script, no_run cargo install saucy

When you run saucy in a directory, it will print out the activate script of the first Python virtual environment it finds. For example:

shell script, no_run user@server:~/important_project/> saucy /home/user/important_project/env/bin/activate

Thus instead of having to type . env/bin/activate, you could just type: shell script, no_run user@server:~/important_project/> . $(saucy) (env) user@server:~/important_project/>

But even that feels like too much typing. Instead, insert the following line (or something similar) into your .bash_aliases file:

shell script, no_run alias sa=". $(saucy)$"

Now it's as easy as:

shell script, no_run user@server:~/important_project/> sa (env) user@server:~/important_project/>

Enjoy!
