## Virtual environments
-The plugin provides two utilities to manage Python venvs:
+The plugin provides three utilities to manage Python 3.3+ [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html)
+virtual environments:
-- `mkv [name]`: make a new virtual environment called `name` (default: `venv`) in current directory.
+- `mkv [name]`: make a new virtual environment called `name` in the current directory.
+ **Default**: `$PYTHON_VENV_NAME` if set, otherwise `venv`.
+
+- `vrun [name]`: activate the virtual environment called `name` in the current directory.
+ **Default**: the first existing in `$PYTHON_VENV_NAMES`.
+
+- `auto_vrun`: automatically activate the venv virtual environment when entering a directory containing
+ `<venv-name>/bin/activate`, and automatically deactivate it when navigating out of it (keeps venv activated
+ in subdirectories).
+ - To enable the feature, set `PYTHON_AUTO_VRUN=true` before sourcing oh-my-zsh.
+ - The plugin activates the first existing virtual environment, in order, appearing in `$PYTHON_VENV_NAMES`.
+ The default virtual environment name is `venv`. To use a different name, set
+ `PYTHON_VENV_NAME=<venv-name>`. For example: `PYTHON_VENV_NAME=".venv"`
+
+### Settings
+
+You can set these variables in your `.zshrc` file, before Oh My Zsh is sourced.
+For example:
+
+```sh
+PYTHON_VENV_NAME=".venv"
+PYTHON_VENV_NAMES=($PYTHON_VENV_NAME venv)
+...
+plugins=(... python)
+source "$ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh"
+```
+
+
+## `$PYTHON_VENV_NAME`
+
+**Default**: `venv`.
+
+Preferred name for virtual environments, for example when creating via `mkv`.
+
+## `$PYTHON_VENV_NAMES`
+
+**Default**: `$PYTHON_VENV_NAME venv .venv`.
+
+Array of virtual environment names to be checked, in order, by `vrun` and `auto_vrun`.
+This means these functions will load the first existing virtual environment in this list.
+Duplicate names are ignored.
-- `vrun [name]`: activate virtual environment called `name` (default: `venv`) in current directory.
