Method: RubyPython.start_from_virtualenv

Defined in:
lib/rubypython.rb

.start_from_virtualenv(virtualenv) ⇒ Object

Starts the Python interpreter for a virtualenv virtual environment. Returns true if the interpreter was started.

virtualenv

The root path to the virtualenv-installed Python interpreter.

RubyPython.start_from_virtualenv('/path/to/virtualenv')
sys = RubyPython.import 'sys'
p sys.version # => "2.7.1"
RubyPython.stop

NOTE: In the current version of RubyPython, it is possible to change Python interpreters in a single Ruby process execution, but it is strongly discouraged as this may lead to segmentation faults. This feature is highly experimental and may be disabled in the future.
