The Python Launcher for Unix

https://python-launcher.app is the full documentation for this project.

Motivation

Launch your Python interpreter the lazy/smart way!

This project is an implementation of the py command for Unix-based platforms (with some potential experimentation for good measure 😉).

Example

Typical usage would be:

py -m venv .venv
py ...  # Normal `python` usage.

This creates a virtual environment in a .venv directory using the latest version of Python installed. Subsequent uses of py will then use that virtual environment as long as it is in the current (or higher) directory; no environment activation required (although the Python Launcher supports activated environments as well)!
