venv — Creation of virtual environments

Added in version 3.3.

소스 코드: Lib/venv/


The venv module supports creating lightweight “virtual environments”, each with their own independent set of Python packages installed in their site directories. A virtual environment is created on top of an existing Python installation, known as the virtual environment’s “base” Python, and may optionally be isolated from the packages in the base environment, so only those explicitly installed in the virtual environment are available.

When used from within a virtual environment, common installation tools such as pip will install Python packages into a virtual environment without needing to be told to do so explicitly.

A virtual environment is (amongst other things):

  • Used to contain a specific Python interpreter and software libraries and binaries which are needed to support a project (library or application). These are by default isolated from software in other virtual environments and Python interpreters and libraries installed in the operating system.

  • Contained in a directory, conventionally named .venv or venv in the project directory, or under a container directory for lots of virtual environments, such as ~/.virtualenvs.

  • Not checked into source control systems such as Git.

  • Considered as disposable – it should be simple to delete and recreate it from scratch. You don’t place any project code in the environment.

  • Not considered as movable or copyable – you just recreate the same environment in the target location.

See PEP 405 for more background on Python virtual environments.

Availability: not Emscripten, not WASI.

This module does not work or is not available on WebAssembly platforms wasm32-emscripten and wasm32-wasi. See WebAssembly platforms for more information.

가상 환경 만들기

Virtual environments are created by executing the venv module:

python -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

This creates the target directory (including parent directories as needed) and places a pyvenv.cfg file in it with a home key pointing to the Python installation from which the command was run. It also creates a bin (or Scripts on Windows) subdirectory containing a copy or symlink of the Python executable (as appropriate for the platform or arguments used at environment creation time). It also creates a lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages subdirectory (on Windows, this is Libsite-packages). If an existing directory is specified, it will be re-used.

버전 3.5에서 변경: 이제 가상 환경을 만들 때 venv를 사용하는 것이 좋습니다.

Deprecated since version 3.6, removed in version 3.8: pyvenv was the recommended tool for creating virtual environments for Python 3.3 and 3.4, and replaced in 3.5 by executing venv directly.

On Windows, invoke the venv command as follows:

PS> python -m venv C:\path\to\new\virtual\environment

명령에 -h를 사용하면 사용 가능한 옵션이 표시됩니다:

usage: venv [-h] [--system-site-packages] [--symlinks | --copies] [--clear]
            [--upgrade] [--without-pip] [--prompt PROMPT] [--upgrade-deps]
            ENV_DIR [ENV_DIR ...]

Creates virtual Python environments in one or more target directories.

positional arguments:
  ENV_DIR               A directory to create the environment in.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --system-site-packages
                        Give the virtual environment access to the system
                        site-packages dir.
  --symlinks            Try to use symlinks rather than copies, when
                        symlinks are not the default for the platform.
  --copies              Try to use copies rather than symlinks, even when
                        symlinks are the default for the platform.
  --clear               Delete the contents of the environment directory
                        if it already exists, before environment creation.
  --upgrade             Upgrade the environment directory to use this
                        version of Python, assuming Python has been
                        upgraded in-place.
  --without-pip         Skips installing or upgrading pip in the virtual
                        environment (pip is bootstrapped by default)
  --prompt PROMPT       Provides an alternative prompt prefix for this
                        environment.
  --upgrade-deps        Upgrade core dependencies (pip) to the latest
                        version in PyPI

Once an environment has been created, you may wish to activate it, e.g. by
sourcing an activate script in its bin directory.

버전 3.4에서 변경: Installs pip by default, added the --without-pip and --copies options.

버전 3.4에서 변경: 이전 버전에서는, --clear--upgrade 옵션이 제공되지 않았을 때, 대상 디렉터리가 이미 존재하면 에러가 발생했습니다.

버전 3.9에서 변경: Add --upgrade-deps option to upgrade pip + setuptools to the latest on PyPI.

버전 3.12에서 변경: setuptools is no longer a core venv dependency.

참고

심볼릭 링크가 윈도우에서 지원되지만, 추천하지는 않습니다. 특히 파일 탐색기에서 python.exe를 더블 클릭하면 심볼릭 링크를 열심히 따라가고(resolve) 가상 환경은 무시됩니다.

참고

마이크로소프트 윈도우에서는 사용자에 대한 실행 정책을 설정하여 Activate.ps1 스크립트를 활성화해야 할 수도 있습니다. 다음 PowerShell 명령을 실행하여 이를 수행할 수 있습니다:

PS C:\> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

자세한 정보는 About Execution Policies를 참조하십시오.

The created pyvenv.cfg file also includes the include-system-site-packages key, set to true if venv is run with the --system-site-packages option, false otherwise.

--without-pip 옵션을 주지 않는 한, 가상 환경으로 pip을 부트스트랩 하기 위해 ensurepip가 호출됩니다.

venv에 여러 경로를 지정할 수 있습니다. 이때 지정된 옵션에 따라 제공된 각 경로에서 같은 가상 환경이 만들어집니다.

How venvs work

When a Python interpreter is running from a virtual environment, sys.prefix and sys.exec_prefix point to the directories of the virtual environment, whereas sys.base_prefix and sys.base_exec_prefix point to those of the base Python used to create the environment. It is sufficient to check sys.prefix != sys.base_prefix to determine if the current interpreter is running from a virtual environment.

A virtual environment may be “activated” using a script in its binary directory (bin on POSIX; Scripts on Windows). This will prepend that directory to your PATH, so that running python will invoke the environment’s Python interpreter and you can run installed scripts without having to use their full path. The invocation of the activation script is platform-specific (<venv> must be replaced by the path to the directory containing the virtual environment):

You don’t specifically need to activate a virtual environment, as you can just specify the full path to that environment’s Python interpreter when invoking Python. Furthermore, all scripts installed in the environment should be runnable without activating it.

In order to achieve this, scripts installed into virtual environments have a “shebang” line which points to the environment’s Python interpreter, #!/<path-to-venv>/bin/python. This means that the script will run with that interpreter regardless of the value of PATH. On Windows, “shebang” line processing is supported if you have the 윈도우 용 파이썬 런처 installed. Thus, double-clicking an installed script in a Windows Explorer window should run it with the correct interpreter without the environment needing to be activated or on the PATH.

When a virtual environment has been activated, the VIRTUAL_ENV environment variable is set to the path of the environment. Since explicitly activating a virtual environment is not required to use it, VIRTUAL_ENV cannot be relied upon to determine whether a virtual environment is being used.

경고

Because scripts installed in environments should not expect the environment to be activated, their shebang lines contain the absolute paths to their environment’s interpreters. Because of this, environments are inherently non-portable, in the general case. You should always have a simple means of recreating an environment (for example, if you have a requirements file requirements.txt, you can invoke pip install -r requirements.txt using the environment’s pip to install all of the packages needed by the environment). If for any reason you need to move the environment to a new location, you should recreate it at the desired location and delete the one at the old location. If you move an environment because you moved a parent directory of it, you should recreate the environment in its new location. Otherwise, software installed into the environment may not work as expected.

You can deactivate a virtual environment by typing deactivate in your shell. The exact mechanism is platform-specific and is an internal implementation detail (typically, a script or shell function will be used).

API

위에서 설명한 고수준 메서드는 제삼자 가상 환경 작성자가 필요에 따라 환경을 사용자 정의할 수 있는 메커니즘을 제공하는 간단한 API를 사용합니다: EnvBuilder 클래스.

class venv.EnvBuilder(system_site_packages=False, clear=False, symlinks=False, upgrade=False, with_pip=False, prompt=None, upgrade_deps=False)

EnvBuilder 클래스는 인스턴스를 만들 때 다음 키워드 인자를 받아들입니다:

  • system_site_packages – a boolean value indicating that the system Python site-packages should be available to the environment (defaults to False).

  • clear – a boolean value which, if true, will delete the contents of any existing target directory, before creating the environment.

  • symlinks – a boolean value indicating whether to attempt to symlink the Python binary rather than copying.

  • upgrade – a boolean value which, if true, will upgrade an existing environment with the running Python - for use when that Python has been upgraded in-place (defaults to False).

  • with_pip – a boolean value which, if true, ensures pip is installed in the virtual environment. This uses ensurepip with the --default-pip option.

  • prompt – a string to be used after virtual environment is activated (defaults to None which means directory name of the environment would be used). If the special string "." is provided, the basename of the current directory is used as the prompt.

  • upgrade_deps – Update the base venv modules to the latest on PyPI

버전 3.4에서 변경: with_pip 매개 변수 추가

버전 3.6에서 변경: prompt 매개 변수 추가

버전 3.9에서 변경: upgrade_deps 매개 변수 추가

EnvBuilder may be used as a base class.

create(env_dir)

가상 환경을 담을 대상 디렉터리(절대 또는 현재 디렉터리에 대한 상대)를 지정해서 가상 환경을 만듭니다. create 메서드는 지정된 디렉터리에 환경을 만들거나 적절한 예외를 발생시킵니다.

EnvBuilder 클래스의 create 메서드는 서브 클래스가 사용자 정의할 수 있는 훅을 보여줍니다:

def create(self, env_dir):
    """
    Create a virtualized Python environment in a directory.
    env_dir is the target directory to create an environment in.
    """
    env_dir = os.path.abspath(env_dir)
    context = self.ensure_directories(env_dir)
    self.create_configuration(context)
    self.setup_python(context)
    self.setup_scripts(context)
    self.post_setup(context)

메서드 ensure_directories(), create_configuration(), setup_python(), setup_scripts()post_setup() 각각을 재정의할 수 있습니다.

ensure_directories(env_dir)

Creates the environment directory and all necessary subdirectories that don’t already exist, and returns a context object. This context object is just a holder for attributes (such as paths) for use by the other methods. If the EnvBuilder is created with the arg clear=True, contents of the environment directory will be cleared and then all necessary subdirectories will be recreated.

The returned context object is a types.SimpleNamespace with the following attributes:

  • env_dir - The location of the virtual environment. Used for __VENV_DIR__ in activation scripts (see install_scripts()).

  • env_name - The name of the virtual environment. Used for __VENV_NAME__ in activation scripts (see install_scripts()).

  • prompt - The prompt to be used by the activation scripts. Used for __VENV_PROMPT__ in activation scripts (see install_scripts()).

  • executable - The underlying Python executable used by the virtual environment. This takes into account the case where a virtual environment is created from another virtual environment.

  • inc_path - The include path for the virtual environment.

  • lib_path - The purelib path for the virtual environment.

  • bin_path - The script path for the virtual environment.

  • bin_name - The name of the script path relative to the virtual environment location. Used for __VENV_BIN_NAME__ in activation scripts (see install_scripts()).

  • env_exe - The name of the Python interpreter in the virtual environment. Used for __VENV_PYTHON__ in activation scripts (see install_scripts()).

  • env_exec_cmd - The name of the Python interpreter, taking into account filesystem redirections. This can be used to run Python in the virtual environment.

버전 3.11에서 변경: The venv sysconfig installation scheme is used to construct the paths of the created directories.

버전 3.12에서 변경: The attribute lib_path was added to the context, and the context object was documented.

create_configuration(context)

환경에 pyvenv.cfg 구성 파일을 만듭니다.

setup_python(context)

환경에 파이썬 실행 파일의 복사본이나 심볼릭 링크를 만듭니다. POSIX 시스템에서, 특정 실행 파일 python3.x가 사용되면, 해당 이름의 파일이 이미 존재하지 않는 한 pythonpython3 심볼릭 링크가 해당 실행 파일을 가리키도록 만들어집니다.

setup_scripts(context)

플랫폼에 적합한 활성화 스크립트를 가상 환경에 설치합니다.

upgrade_dependencies(context)

Upgrades the core venv dependency packages (currently pip) in the environment. This is done by shelling out to the pip executable in the environment.

Added in version 3.9.

버전 3.12에서 변경: setuptools is no longer a core venv dependency.

post_setup(context)

제삼자 구현에서 재정의하여 가상 환경에 패키지를 사전 설치하거나 다른 생성 후 단계를 수행할 수 있는 메서드입니다.

install_scripts(context, path)

This method can be called from setup_scripts() or post_setup() in subclasses to assist in installing custom scripts into the virtual environment.

path is the path to a directory that should contain subdirectories common, posix, nt; each containing scripts destined for the bin directory in the environment. The contents of common and the directory corresponding to os.name are copied after some text replacement of placeholders:

  • __VENV_DIR__은 환경 디렉터리의 절대 경로로 치환됩니다.

  • __VENV_NAME__은 환경 이름(환경 디렉터리의 최종 경로 세그먼트)으로 치환됩니다.

  • __VENV_PROMPT__는 프롬프트(괄호로 묶인 환경 이름과 그 뒤의 스페이스)로 치환됩니다

  • __VENV_BIN_NAME__은 bin 디렉터리의 이름(bin 이나 Scripts)으로 치환됩니다.

  • __VENV_PYTHON__은 환경의 실행 파일의 절대 경로로 치환됩니다.

디렉터리는 존재하는 것이 허용됩니다 (기존 환경이 업그레이드될 때).

버전 3.7.2에서 변경: 윈도우는 이제 실제 바이너리를 복사하는 대신 python[w].exe를 위한 리디렉터 스크립트를 사용합니다. 3.7.2 에서만, 소스 트리의 빌드에서 실행하지 않는 한 setup_python()아무 작업도 수행하지 않습니다.

버전 3.7.3에서 변경: 윈도우는 setup_scripts() 대신 setup_python()의 일부로 리디렉터 스크립트를 복사합니다. 이것은 3.7.2는 해당하지 않습니다. 심볼릭 링크를 사용하면, 원래 실행 파일이 링크됩니다.

모듈 수준의 편리 함수도 있습니다:

venv.create(env_dir, system_site_packages=False, clear=False, symlinks=False, with_pip=False, prompt=None, upgrade_deps=False)

주어진 키워드 인자로 EnvBuilder를 만들고, env_dir 인자로 create() 메서드를 호출합니다.

Added in version 3.3.

버전 3.4에서 변경: Added the with_pip parameter

버전 3.6에서 변경: Added the prompt parameter

버전 3.9에서 변경: Added the upgrade_deps parameter
