从包含 venv 文件夹的文件夹中激活 virtualenv

Question

I have the following folder structure:

Folder
  |- working_folder  # other stuff in here.
  |- venv  # my venv folder

Depending on platform (windows or linux) I would enter the venv and activate the appropriate script to activate the virtualenv. But especially when you're inside the "working_folder" there is a lot of typing involved to get to the venv,script and activation of the venv.

Lazy as I am I wonder whether there is a more convenient way. I am thinking of some kind of python script looking for a venv folder and automatically activate that virtual environment.

The looking for a venv folder is the easy part. But I am getting stuck on how to use a python script to activate my current shell with that virtual env.

Anyone any suggestions? BTW. I am looking for both a linux and windows solution.

I think you are looking for this - https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ (this is not a python script, but it will be more convenient)

For example, to activate virtual env with virtualenvwrapper all you need is to type this command:

workon name_of_your_venv
