Differences between Pyenv and Pipx
I have been told that pipx
is a very good tool to install and run Python
applications in isolated environments. That description almost immediately
reminds me of another tool - pyenv
. Even though they address different
needs, I find myself mixing them up. The purpose of this post is to describe
what the tools try to accomplish and how they go about doing so. A pre-requisite
to this discussion is an introduction to how the system $PATH
environment
variable is used.
