`venv` --- 创建虚拟环境¶

3.3 新版功能.

源码： Lib/venv/

venv 模块支持使用自己的站点目录创建轻量级“虚拟环境”，可选择与系统站点目录隔离。每个虚拟环境都有自己的 Python 二进制文件（与用于创建此环境的二进制文件的版本相匹配），并且可以在其站点目录中拥有自己独立的已安装 Python 软件包集。

有关 Python 虚拟环境的更多信息，请参阅 PEP 405 。

创建虚拟环境¶

通过执行 venv 指令来创建一个虚拟环境:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Running this command creates the target directory (creating any parent directories that don't exist already) and places a pyvenv.cfg file in it with a home key pointing to the Python installation from which the command was run (a common name for the target directory is .venv). It also creates a bin (or Scripts on Windows) subdirectory containing a copy/symlink of the Python binary/binaries (as appropriate for the platform or arguments used at environment creation time). It also creates an (initially empty) lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages subdirectory (on Windows, this is Lib\site-packages). If an existing directory is specified, it will be re-used.

3.6 版后已移除: pyvenv 是 Python 3.3 和 3.4 中创建虚拟环境的推荐工具，不过在 Python 3.6 中已弃用。

在 3.5 版更改: 现在推荐使用 venv 来创建虚拟环境。

On Windows, invoke the venv command as follows:

c:\>c:\Python35\python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv

Alternatively, if you configured the PATH and PATHEXT variables for your Python installation:

c:\>python -m venv c:\path\to\myenv

The command, if run with -h, will show the available options:

usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]
            [--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT]
            ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]

Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.

positional arguments:
  ENV_DIR               A directory to create the environment in.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --system-site-packages
                        Give the virtual environment access to the system
                        site-packages dir.
  --symlinks            Try to use symlinks rather than copies, when symlinks
                        are not the default for the platform.
  --copies              Try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when
                        symlinks are the default for the platform.
  --clear               Delete the contents of the environment directory if it
                        already exists, before environment creation.
  --upgrade             Upgrade the environment directory to use this version
                        of Python, assuming Python has been upgraded in-place.
  --without-pip         Skips installing or upgrading pip in the virtual
                        environment (pip is bootstrapped by default)
  --prompt PROMPT       Provides an alternative prompt prefix for this
                        environment.

Once an environment has been created, you may wish to activate it, e.g. by
sourcing an activate script in its bin directory.

在 3.4 版更改: Installs pip by default, added the --without-pip and --copies options

在 3.4 版更改: In earlier versions, if the target directory already existed, an error was raised, unless the --clear or --upgrade option was provided.

注解

While symlinks are supported on Windows, they are not recommended. Of particular note is that double-clicking python.exe in File Explorer will resolve the symlink eagerly and ignore the virtual environment.

The created pyvenv.cfg file also includes the include-system-site-packages key, set to true if venv is run with the --system-site-packages option, false otherwise.

Unless the --without-pip option is given, ensurepip will be invoked to bootstrap pip into the virtual environment.

Multiple paths can be given to venv, in which case an identical virtual environment will be created, according to the given options, at each provided path.

Once a virtual environment has been created, it can be "activated" using a script in the virtual environment's binary directory. The invocation of the script is platform-specific (<venv> must be replaced by the path of the directory containing the virtual environment):

平台	Shell	用于激活虚拟环境的命令
POSIX	bash/zsh	$ source <venv>/bin/activate
	fish	$ . <venv>/bin/activate.fish
	csh/tcsh	$ source <venv>/bin/activate.csh
	PowerShell Core	$ <venv>/bin/Activate.ps1
Windows	cmd.exe	C:\> <venv>\Scripts\activate.bat
	PowerShell	PS C:\> <venv>\Scripts\Activate.ps1

You don't specifically need to activate an environment; activation just prepends the virtual environment's binary directory to your path, so that "python" invokes the virtual environment's Python interpreter and you can run installed scripts without having to use their full path. However, all scripts installed in a virtual environment should be runnable without activating it, and run with the virtual environment's Python automatically.

You can deactivate a virtual environment by typing "deactivate" in your shell. The exact mechanism is platform-specific and is an internal implementation detail (typically a script or shell function will be used).

3.4 新版功能: fish and csh activation scripts.

3.8 新版功能: PowerShell activation scripts installed under POSIX for PowerShell Core support.

注解

A virtual environment is a Python environment such that the Python interpreter, libraries and scripts installed into it are isolated from those installed in other virtual environments, and (by default) any libraries installed in a "system" Python, i.e., one which is installed as part of your operating system.

A virtual environment is a directory tree which contains Python executable files and other files which indicate that it is a virtual environment.

Common installation tools such as setuptools and pip work as expected with virtual environments. In other words, when a virtual environment is active, they install Python packages into the virtual environment without needing to be told to do so explicitly.

When a virtual environment is active (i.e., the virtual environment's Python interpreter is running), the attributes sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix point to the base directory of the virtual environment, whereas sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix point to the non-virtual environment Python installation which was used to create the virtual environment. If a virtual environment is not active, then sys.prefix is the same as sys.base_prefix and sys.exec_prefix is the same as sys.base_exec_prefix (they all point to a non-virtual environment Python installation).

When a virtual environment is active, any options that change the installation path will be ignored from all distutils configuration files to prevent projects being inadvertently installed outside of the virtual environment.

When working in a command shell, users can make a virtual environment active by running an activate script in the virtual environment's executables directory (the precise filename and command to use the file is shell-dependent), which prepends the virtual environment's directory for executables to the PATH environment variable for the running shell. There should be no need in other circumstances to activate a virtual environment; scripts installed into virtual environments have a "shebang" line which points to the virtual environment's Python interpreter. This means that the script will run with that interpreter regardless of the value of PATH. On Windows, "shebang" line processing is supported if you have the Python Launcher for Windows installed (this was added to Python in 3.3 - see PEP 397 for more details). Thus, double-clicking an installed script in a Windows Explorer window should run the script with the correct interpreter without there needing to be any reference to its virtual environment in PATH.

API¶

The high-level method described above makes use of a simple API which provides mechanisms for third-party virtual environment creators to customize environment creation according to their needs, the EnvBuilder class.

class venv.EnvBuilder(system_site_packages=False, clear=False, symlinks=False, upgrade=False, with_pip=False, prompt=None)¶

The EnvBuilder class accepts the following keyword arguments on instantiation:

system_site_packages -- a Boolean value indicating that the system Python site-packages should be available to the environment (defaults to False).
clear -- a Boolean value which, if true, will delete the contents of any existing target directory, before creating the environment.
symlinks -- a Boolean value indicating whether to attempt to symlink the Python binary rather than copying.
upgrade -- a Boolean value which, if true, will upgrade an existing environment with the running Python - for use when that Python has been upgraded in-place (defaults to False).
with_pip -- a Boolean value which, if true, ensures pip is installed in the virtual environment. This uses ensurepip with the --default-pip option.
prompt -- a String to be used after virtual environment is activated (defaults to None which means directory name of the environment would be used).

在 3.4 版更改: Added the with_pip parameter

3.6 新版功能: Added the prompt parameter

Creators of third-party virtual environment tools will be free to use the provided EnvBuilder class as a base class.

The returned env-builder is an object which has a method, create:

create(env_dir)¶

Create a virtual environment by specifying the target directory (absolute or relative to the current directory) which is to contain the virtual environment. The create method will either create the environment in the specified directory, or raise an appropriate exception.

The create method of the EnvBuilder class illustrates the hooks available for subclass customization:

def create(self, env_dir):
    """
    Create a virtualized Python environment in a directory.
    env_dir is the target directory to create an environment in.
    """
    env_dir = os.path.abspath(env_dir)
    context = self.ensure_directories(env_dir)
    self.create_configuration(context)
    self.setup_python(context)
    self.setup_scripts(context)
    self.post_setup(context)

Each of the methods ensure_directories(), create_configuration(), setup_python(), setup_scripts() and post_setup() can be overridden.

ensure_directories(env_dir)¶: Creates the environment directory and all necessary directories, and returns a context object. This is just a holder for attributes (such as paths), for use by the other methods. The directories are allowed to exist already, as long as either clear or upgrade were specified to allow operating on an existing environment directory.

create_configuration(context)¶: Creates the pyvenv.cfg configuration file in the environment.

setup_python(context)¶: Creates a copy or symlink to the Python executable in the environment. On POSIX systems, if a specific executable python3.x was used, symlinks to python and python3 will be created pointing to that executable, unless files with those names already exist.

setup_scripts(context)¶: Installs activation scripts appropriate to the platform into the virtual environment.

upgrade_dependencies(context)¶: Upgrades the core venv dependency packages (currently pip and setuptools) in the environment. This is done by shelling out to the pip executable in the environment.

3.8 新版功能.

post_setup(context)¶: A placeholder method which can be overridden in third party implementations to pre-install packages in the virtual environment or perform other post-creation steps.

在 3.7.2 版更改: Windows now uses redirector scripts for python[w].exe instead of copying the actual binaries. In 3.7.2 only setup_python() does nothing unless running from a build in the source tree.

在 3.7.3 版更改: Windows copies the redirector scripts as part of setup_python() instead of setup_scripts(). This was not the case in 3.7.2. When using symlinks, the original executables will be linked.

In addition, EnvBuilder provides this utility method that can be called from setup_scripts() or post_setup() in subclasses to assist in installing custom scripts into the virtual environment.

install_scripts(context, path)¶

path is the path to a directory that should contain subdirectories "common", "posix", "nt", each containing scripts destined for the bin directory in the environment. The contents of "common" and the directory corresponding to os.name are copied after some text replacement of placeholders:

__VENV_DIR__ is replaced with the absolute path of the environment directory.
__VENV_NAME__ is replaced with the environment name (final path segment of environment directory).
__VENV_PROMPT__ is replaced with the prompt (the environment name surrounded by parentheses and with a following space)
__VENV_BIN_NAME__ is replaced with the name of the bin directory (either bin or Scripts).
__VENV_PYTHON__ is replaced with the absolute path of the environment's executable.

The directories are allowed to exist (for when an existing environment is being upgraded).

有一个方便实用的模块级别的函数:

venv.create(env_dir, system_site_packages=False, clear=False, symlinks=False, with_pip=False, prompt=None)¶: 通过关键词参数来创建一个 EnvBuilder，并且使用 env_dir 参数来调用它的 create() 方法。

3.3 新版功能.

在 3.4 版更改: Added the with_pip parameter

在 3.6 版更改: Added the prompt parameter
