rustenv ==========

Create virtual, activate-able environments for Rust, similar to virtualenv for Python.

A virtual environment is a self-contained installation of Rust, Cargo, etc., which is completely isolated from any user-level installations you may have.

For example:

# Create a new rustenv
$ rustenv renv

Run a command in it

$ renv/bin/rustc --version rustc 1.26.1 (827013a31 2018-05-25) $ renv/bin/cargo --version cargo 1.26.0 (0e7c5a931 2018-04-06)

Activate it to avoid having to prefix your commands

$ . renv/bin/activate (renv) $ rustc --version rustc 1.26.1 (827013a31 2018-05-25)

Install hello-cli: https://crates.io/crates/hello-cli

(renv) $ cargo install hello-cli (renv) $ hello Hello World!

Deactivate it to restore your PATH and PS1

(renv) $ deactivate_rustenv $ rustc --version command not found: rustc

Installation

rustenv is available via PyPI and can be installed using pip:

$ pip install rustenv

Project status

What works right now

  • Everything in the example above.

Remaining work

  • Provide some additional options when creating the rustenv:
* Allow specifying rustc / cargo version * Allow disabling PS1 modification, similar to virtualenv
  • ...and more? (file an issue! :))
