Have you seen Pipx or its predecessor Pipsi?

Although your tool looks more like Virtualenvwrapper.

It's good to have other options of course (and yours looks nice), but it's also good to at least make a case for improvement over what's already out there.

Thank you.

I have, actually (though not Pipsi). Some others have commented on that and lead me to them.

Part of the "fun" of it was just doing it, I guess, and knowing exactly what went into it. Just a few lines of Bash, really.

His attitude is very Pythonic. That's another thing I didn't like. Other languages let you write whatever you want (maybe to a fault, but still) and support you. This guy's all like "Python has venv and everything else is superfluous so why did you write this". Sigh.
