Activate a pipenv environment without creating a new shell?
See original GitHub issueIs it possible to activate a pipenv environment without creating a new shell?
Example:
user@host:~/some_project$ pipenv activate
(some_project-OH5ik22OJ) user@host:~/some_project$
(Edit:) I should mention that this is possible by running
user@host:~/some_project$ . `pipenv --venv`/bin/activate
But I’m more interested in the “why spawn a new shell?”
Why am I asking?
I guess I don’t really see the advantage of spawning a new shell. I do, however, see disadvantages:
- When exiting the shell, your CWD changes to the path you were at when you spawned the shell, not the path you were in when exiting the shell
- After exiting, you don’t get your command history from when you were inside the shell
Examples of the disadvantages:
user@host:~/some_project$echo "outside of shell"
outside of shell
user@host:~/some_project$pipenv shell
<snip>
(some_project-AGMeXx6P) user@host:~/some_project$cd src
(some_project-AGMeXx6P) user@host:~/some_project/src$ echo "inside shell"
inside shell
(some_project-AGMeXx6P) user@host:~/some_project/src$ exit
user@host:~/some_project$ history | tail -n 10 # dir changed!
1 echo "outside of shell"
2 pipenv shell
3 history | tail -n 10 # `echo "inside shell"` missing!

You can use
pipenv —venv
to get the location of the virtualenv and activate it like a normal virtualenv.I used
. $(pipenv --venv)/bin/activate
to avoid execute “Permission denied” error
