At some point i did this with gradle (i'm a Java guy): https://hg.sr.ht/~twic/devtools/browse/bin/gradle?rev=tip https://hg.sr.ht/~twic/devtools/browse/bin/gradle?rev=tip If i'm in a directory with a gradle wrapper, i essentially never want to run any globally installed gradle, i want to run the one in the wrapper. It's more of a mixed bag with python. If i do: cd ~/myproject python main.py Then yes, i want to use the venv in ~/myproject. If i do: cd ~/myproject salt '*' status.all_status I do not want to run salt using the venv in ~/myproject! On the other hand, if i do: python ~/myproject/main.py I think i'd like to use the venv in ~/myproject. So maybe resolve the file that will get run, then look for a venv in the vicinity of that? What happens when you do: cd ~/myproject python -m json.tool data.json ? Another option would be to introduce a new set of commands - vpython runs python using a nearby venv, vpip runs pip using it, etc. Or call the ppython, ppip, etc - less mnemonic, but faster to type.
