How does it compare to the more mature Virtualenv for Python?

• LaGrange 16y ago
  It's more comparable to virtualenv with virtualenvwrapper. Also, it manages multiple versions of Ruby (AFAIK virtualenv was coupled to a single version of Python) and has a per-directory dotfile (that way, when I switch to ~/Projects/something rvm automatically switches to correct ruby and gemset). It generally feels more 'complete' to me. I didn't do any serious work with virtualenv in quite some time, so this may have changed.

    virtualenv -p python2.5 will create a virtualenv with the Python 2.5 interpreter. I like the per-directory dotfile approach for autodetecting/activating a virtual ruby setup.

      Virtualenvwrapper gives you per-VENV postactivate hooks that do the same thing.
