Like rcarmo, I looked at pyenv as it shared (Read: copied wholesale for obvious reasons) many of the ideas in rbenv which has been excellent for dealing with different versions of Ruby. Either I just couldn't get used to it or the similarities are not as clear as they might appear to be at first glance because I eventually gave up and backed off Python entirely until miniconda was available via brew and BBEdit gained the ability to switch environments without jumping through hoops. That said, I am currently trying to remove Python from brew entirely and put everything into conda - for a few upgrades now, brew has complained loudly during upgrades that compiling from source isn't supported and may break things. I can run `brew uses $FORMULA` to find the things that depend on Python that brew knows about - is it generally safe to move these into conda's "base" environment? The main thing that I use conda for (The Standard Ebooks project) has an environment and version of Py all to itself.
