- Fix for Mac OS X Framework builds that use
--universal-archs=intel
- Fix
activate_this.py
on Windows. - Allow

it will get unset; if you leave it set and do not activate the environment it will still break the environment. - Include pip 0.7.1
- Include pip 0.7
- Allow
activate.sh
to skip updating the prompt (by setting$VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT
).

activate.bat
anddeactivate.bat
under Windows whenPATH

script even when Setuptools isn't installed - Fix problem with
virtualenv --relocate
whenbin/
has subdirectories (e.g.,bin/.svn/

__classpath__
and also specially handle the new__pyclasspath__
entry insys.path

registry
file to the virtualenv if it exists. - Better find libraries when compiling extensions on Windows.

on Windows. - Added support for the Debian/Ubuntu
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/dist-packages
directory. - Set
distutils.sysconfig.get_config_vars()['LIBDIR']
(based onsys.real_prefix
) which is reported to help building on Windows. - Make
deactivate
work on ksh - Fixes for

and the symlink created to the exact Python version.
- Use Windows newlines in
activate.bat
, which has been reported to help when using non-ASCII directory names. - Fixed compatibility with Jython 2.5b1.

<https://bugs.launchpad.net/virtualenv/+bug/340050>`_ picking up
some
.so
libraries in/usr/local
.
- Remove the
[install] prefix = ...
setting from the virtualenvdistutils.cfg
-- this has been causing problems for a lot of people, in rather obscure ways. - If you use a boot script it will attempt to import
virtualenv
and find a pre-downloaded Setuptools egg using that. - Added platform-specific paths, like
/usr/lib/pythonX.Y/plat-linux2
- Real Python 2.6 compatibility. Backported the Python 2.6 updates to
site.py
, including user directories (this means older versions of Python will support user directories, whether intended or not). - Always set
[install] prefix
indistutils.cfg
-- previously on some platforms where a system-widedistutils.cfg
was present with aprefix
setting, packages would be installed globally (usually in/usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
). - Sometimes Cygwin seems to leave
.exe
offsys.executable
; a workaround is added. - Fix
--python
option. - Fixed handling of Jython environments that use a jython-complete.jar.
- Update to Setuptools 0.6c9
- Added an option
virtualenv --relocatable EXISTING_ENV
, which will make an existing environment "relocatable" -- the paths will not be absolute in scripts,.egg-info
and.pth
files. This may assist in building environments that can be moved and copied. You have to run this after any new packages installed. - Added
bin/activate_this.py
, a file you can use likeexecfile("path_to/activate_this.py", dict(__file__="path_to/activate_this.py"))
-- this will activate the environment in place, similar to what the mod_wsgi example does. - For Mac framework builds of Python, the site-packages directory
/Library/Python/X.Y/site-packages
is added tosys.path
, from Andrea Rech. - Some platform-specific modules in Macs are added to the path now
(
plat-darwin/
,plat-mac/
,plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages
), from Andrea Rech. - Fixed a small Bashism in the
bin/activate
shell script. - Added
__future__
to the list of required modules, for Python 2.3. You'll still need to backport your ownsubprocess
module. - Fixed the
__classpath__
entry in Jython'ssys.path
taking precedent over virtualenv's libs.
- Added a
--python
option to select the Python interpreter. - Add
warnings
to the modules copied over, for Python 2.6 support. - Add
sets
to the module copied over for Python 2.3 (though Python 2.3 still probably doesn't work).
- Added support for Jython 2.5.
- Added support for Python 2.6.
- Fix a problem with missing
DLLs/zlib.pyd
on Windows. Create bin/python
(orbin/python.exe
) even when you run virtualenv with an interpreter named, e.g.,python2.4
- Fix MacPorts Python
- Added --unzip-setuptools option
- Update to Setuptools 0.6c8
- If the current directory is not writable, run ez_setup.py in
/tmp
- Copy or symlink over the
include
directory so that packages will more consistently compile.
- Fix build on systems that use
/usr/lib64
, distinct from/usr/lib
(specifically CentOS x64). - Fixed bug in
--clear
. - Fixed typos in
deactivate.bat
. - Preserve
$PYTHONPATH
when calling subprocesses.
- Fix include dir copying on Windows (makes compiling possible).
- Include the main
lib-tk
in the path. - Patch
distutils.sysconfig
:get_python_inc
andget_python_lib
to point to the global locations. - Install
distutils.cfg
before Setuptools, so that system customizations ofdistutils.cfg
won't effect the installation. - Add
bin/pythonX.Y
to the virtualenv (in addition tobin/python
). - Fixed an issue with Mac Framework Python builds, and absolute paths (from Ronald Oussoren).
- Improve ability to create a virtualenv from inside a virtualenv.
- Fix a little bug in
bin/activate
. - Actually get
distutils.cfg
to work reliably.
- Added
lib-dynload
andconfig
to things that need to be copied over in an environment. - Copy over or symlink the
include
directory, so that you can build packages that need the C headers. - Include a
distutils
package, so you can locally updatedistutils.cfg
(inlib/pythonX.Y/distutils/distutils.cfg
). - Better avoid downloading Setuptools, and hitting PyPI on environment creation.
- Fix a problem creating a
lib64/
directory. - Should work on MacOSX Framework builds (the default Python installations on Mac). Thanks to Ronald Oussoren.
- Windows installs would sometimes give errors about
sys.prefix
that were inaccurate. - Slightly prettier output.
- Added support for Windows.
- Give a better warning if you are on an unsupported platform (Mac Framework Pythons, and Windows).
- Give error about running while inside a workingenv.
- Give better error message about Python 2.3.
Fixed packaging of the library.
Initial release. Everything is changed and new!
