Setting a pyenv virtual env in a script in zsh

I am using zsh, and I have setup .zshrc following this answer. I can use pyenv in the terminal.

However, if I call pyenv activate from a script

#!/bin/zsh
pyenv activate konsole

it fails with

Failed to activate virtualenv. Perhaps pyenv-virtualenv has not been loaded into your shell properly. Please restart current shell and try again.

What should I do?

Solution

  • It is necessary to access variables set up in .zshrc see this answer and so we need to use source <script-name>

    So invoke the script using:

    source <script-name>

    and pyenv works
