问题
I misspelled the name of the virtualenv while initializing it using:
$ virtualenv vnev
I actually intended to create the environment with the name venv.
Having tried to rename the vnev folder to venv, I find that this doesn't provide much help. The name of the activate environment still renames the old vnev.
$ mv vnev venv
$ . venv/bin/activate
(vnev) $ deactivate
I would like to know how to go about renaming the environment?
回答1:
By default virtualenv does not support the renaming of environments. It is safer to just delete the virtualenv directory and create a new one with the correct name. You can do this by:
- Activate your virtualenv:
source vnev/bin/activate - Create a requirements.txt of currently installed packages:
pip freeze > requirements.txt - Delete the misspelled virtualenv:
rm -r vnev/ - Create a new virtualenv with correct name:
virtualenv venv - Activate new virtualenv:
source venv/bin/activate - Install packages from requirements.txt:
pip install -r requirements.txt
If recreating is not an option there are 3rd party tools like virtualenv-mv that might be helpful.
Alternatively you can use virtualenvwrapper which provides the cpvirtualenv command to copy or rename virtualenvs.

If you use virtualenvwrapper this can be done by:
$ cpvirtualenv <wrong_name> <correct_name>
$ rmvirtualenv <wrong_name>
Also, FYI, to rename a conda virtualenvironment, check out this question.

My answer is similar to creating a new virtual environment with the dependencies of the old one, but this one is succinct.
Clone the old environment (say venv_1) to a new environment (say venv_2) using conda.
conda create -n venv_2 --clone venv_1
This creates a new environment venv_2 cloning the venv_1. Hence no separate task of getting the packages/ dependencies. Single step suffices.
Delete the old virtual environment. [This step is optional if you still want to keep the old environment]
rm -rf "fully qualified path of the old virtual environment"
So in 1/2 steps the task can be achieved.
