How to make a postmkvirtualenv hook

[ejmg]

Hi there and thanks for such a great dev tool!

This is a question similar to the one asked earlier, here, but involves making a hook that executes once and only once after the creation of a new virtualenv.

Ideally, I would like to make a hook that automatically installs four packages in each new virtualenv I make via pyenv. The parallel function in virtualenvwrapper is postmkvirtualenv, and a user has used it for exactly this behavior as shown in virtualenvwrapper's docs.

I use these packages universally, irrespective of which python version I work on, and so this would save me a simple keystroke. These packages are jedi, flake8, importmagic, and autopep8.

I noticed that there was a hook function built in pyenv but haven't been able to find much documentation on how to make (what I believe to be) this simple hook. I'd appreciate any help!

did you find a solution for this?

Haven't had the time, unfortunately. I suspect it's fairly straight forward given how lazy of a hook this is. If you're triaging issues on this repo, feel free to close the issue.

Think I may have seen the solution to this over on SO https://stackoverflow.com/a/54627516
Hope you don't mind me leaving it as a comment here as this issue is always the 1st place I end up when searching for how to do postmkvirtualenv-ish stuff with pyenv-virtualenv

~/.pyenv/pyenv.d/virtualenvafter.bash

upgrade_packages() {
  PYENV_VERSION=$VIRTUALENV_NAME pyenv-exec pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
}

after_virtualenv 'upgrade_packages'
