You may have a requirement for development on various versions of Python.
Or you may have a mixture of installations including pyenv, custom installations,
system installations etc. Pynball can make leveraging such environments a lot easier.
## Features
---
- Consolidates all Python installations including [**pyenv**][pyenv-url] versions into a single management system.
- Easily create Virtual Environments using any Python version.
- Track which virtual environments have which Python versions and tox versions.
- Quickly change the System interpreter
## Pre Installation Requirements
---
#### Minimum Requirements
1. Python 3.8+
2. [**pipx**][pipx-url]
3. [**Virtualenv**][virtualenv-url] (which has benefits over venv)
4. [**Virtualenvwrapper**][virtualenvwrapper-url]
#### For Maximum Benefits additionally install the following:
1. [**pyenv**][pyenv-url]
## Installation
---
**OS X & Linux:**
Will be supported in version 2
**Windows:**
```sh
pipx install pynball
```
## Usage example
---

delete Deletes a name / path of an installation of Python.
exportconf Creates a configuration file backup.
importconf Creates a configuration from a file backup
lsproject Displays all Virtual Environment projects (with versions: native, tox and pyenv)
mkproject Creates a Virtual Environment from a specific Python version.
mvproject Renames a Virtual Environment (optionally updates GitHub and git)
pyenv Automatically include the pyenv versions in Pynball
reset Deletes all names / paths
rmproject Deletes a Virtual Environment.
system Changes the system Python Interpreter version.
version Display details about the system Python Interpreter.

```
### Add a Python version to the config
```sh
pynball versions
D:\PYTHON\3.9.10 : --> System Interpreter

```
### Create a virtual environment using a version in the config
```sh
pynball mkproject 3.8.10 hobgoblin
```
### List all the virtual environments
```sh
pynball lsproject
Project Name Native Version Pyenv Versions Tox Versions
============ ============== ============== ============
hobgoblin 3.8.10 - 3.8, 3.9, 3.10
organizer 3.9.10 - -
pizazz 3.9.10 - -
template 3.9.10 - -
```
### Change system interpreter
```sh
pynball system 3.6.8
```
```sh
pynball versions
3.10.4 D:\PYTHON\3.10.2
3.10.2 C:\Users\conta\.pyenv\pyenv-win\versions\3.10.2
