webenv

Webenv is a Python library designed to simplify the management of virtual environments for web development projects. It aims to provide a user-friendly interface for creating, activating, and managing isolated Python environments, ensuring that project dependencies are kept separate and do not conflict with other projects or the system's Python installation.

The core functionality of webenv revolves around its command-line interface (CLI). Users can issue simple commands to set up new environments, install packages within them, and deactivate them when no longer needed. This isolation is crucial for web development, where different projects might require specific versions of libraries like Django, Flask, or other dependencies. By using webenv, developers can avoid the "dependency hell" that can arise from managing multiple projects with conflicting requirements.

Webenv also facilitates the replication of development environments. By generating a requirements file, typically named requirements.txt, it captures all the installed packages and their versions. This file can then be used by other developers or in deployment pipelines to recreate the exact same environment, ensuring consistency across different stages of development and deployment. This feature is vital for collaborative projects and for ensuring that production environments mirror development setups.

In essence, webenv acts as a lightweight wrapper around Python's built-in `venv` module, adding convenience features and a streamlined workflow for common web development tasks. It focuses on making the process of managing Python virtual environments as straightforward as possible for developers.
