Can't you simply download Python 2.7, 3.6 and 3.7+ to separate folders, and use those in your different projects?
I understand that virtualenv and maybe even pyenv are useful if you need different requirements for different projects using the same version of Python, as apparently pip installs packages globally. But for your setup, I don't get why something like pyenv really helps...
- starlust2 6y agoI gave up trying to install python 3.6 natively on my mac after a few hours. If there is a way it can be "simply" be done, I did not find it.

Then, they want a little script over the top that downloads the different versions of Python for them -- just to make life easier for them. Wouldn't it be handy to also script the installation? It'd also probably be useful to automatically setup the version of Python I want to use when I switch folders, so I'm not constantly running the wrong version when I change projects. ... et voila, we've reinvented pyenv :).
