I mean `sudo symlink /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/p` can make a good shortcut for python. The script name can be tab-completed.

I see. The P key isn't that ergonomically placed though; and again, one will have to do this time and again for each virtual environment, right?

Why not use native Python methods, namely endpoints, instead, and automate this away?

On Dvorak keyboard it is in a very convenient place. Anyway, one can assign any letter. Not everyone uses virtualenv -- this is very frequent in Django, but I didn't see it elsewhere since I stopped working with it in 2016. Data science that I saw, revolves around Jupyter and Docker.

Anyway, my point is that your package offers conveniences like those in existing packages, and not free but at a similar cost. (Actually, I also contemplated making my own plugins system for `argh`, but just wrote a single package with my own decorator to handle just the few types I needed: pd.DataFrame and gpd.GeoDataFrame. https://github.com/culebron/erde/ )

I feel the majority still uses qwerty keyboards; I assumed that when choosing the name and the shortcut for the tool.

Experiences differ, and de gustibus on est disputandum; in my bubble, virtualenv is a must-have for Python development.

I have multiple Python projects, they run different versions of Python itself and its libraries, and for many of them Docker would be an overkill; so it is hard for me to imagine my routine without virtual environments.

I employ pyenv to manage them but venv is a venv.
