Plugin for scanning/listing virtual environments that use pyenv-managed python installations

[pfheatwole]

I was tidying my work environment and wanted to know which pyenv versions were safe to uninstall. Virtual environments can be created in a variety of ways (poetry install, python -m venv <name>, etc), so it's not trivial to track which versions of pyenv-managed python installations are linked to virtual environments, so I threw this together:

https://gist.github.com/pfheatwole/a298e5698eeb517f770b68c154b9682c

Example output:

$ pyenv users ~
3.7.9          /home/peter/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/my_project-KM_3YcvM-py3.7
3.7.9          /home/peter/work/venvs/long name with spaces
3.8.6          /home/peter/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/my_project-KM_3YcvM-py3.8
pypy3.6-7.3.1  /home/peter/work/venvs/example1

Maybe there's an easier way to do this, but I thought this might help someone. Cheers!

As for me, this is quite an interesting functionality. Maybe you should create a PR?

I reviewed "Authoring Plugins" and realized what you're probably wanting, so I moved the gist to a repo: https://github.com/pfheatwole/pyenv-users

I'm not in a position to maintain it, but I'd be happy transferring ownership to @pyenv. Feel free to fork it, or I can open a PR at https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/issues

Cheers! 🍻

I think making @anton-petrov as admin of @pyenv will give him more flexibility. Also, I can add @pfheatwole as a plugin maintainer of the org. Give me a minute 🙏

Now it should be all set 🎉 https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-users

Nice! I've archived my repo with a link to the new home. I also went ahead and pushed a fix for detecting environments owned by pyenv-virtualenv. I can't commit to being a regular maintainer, but I'll do what I can.

Also, for this plugin: I'm still not sure "users" is a good command name. If either of you think it should change then feel free. Maybe a verb, like "list-users"? I have no preference.

Thanks, @yyuu!

As for the name of the command (plugin) - suggest to think it over, personally, I'm for pyenv-users too. It's a good obvious name.
