Pythonbrew install ZSH on Ubuntu

Can anyone shed any light on how to have pythonbrew / pythonz install when my shell is ZSH. I am on ubuntu 12.04.

I have followed the standard install of curl and then adding the line to ~/.bashrc but it will return an unknown command in a new zsh terminal.

[[ -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && source $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc

In case anyone stumbles across this old question:

As I write this (late 2017), pythonbrew is unmaintained and pythonz appears to be in maintenance-only mode.

At this time I would strongly suggest users switch to the actively maintained pyenv instead.

And just for the record, pyenv fully supports bash, zsh and fish.

You can try the emulate command in your zshrc.

emulate sh -c '[[ -s $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc ]] && . $HOME/.pythonbrew/etc/bashrc'

I have a different setup (my emulate calls a functionrc that has functions available to bash and zsh), but I think this is going to work.

The bashrc file does not work with zsh unfortunately.

Take python2.5 as an example, this seems to work:

sudo ~/.pythonbrew/bin/pythonbrew install 2.5

Then to invoke python2.5:

~/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.5/bin/python

For convenience set:

$PATH=$HOME/.pythonbrew/pythons/Python-2.5/bin:$PATH

zsh does not read ~/.bashrc - try putting the same code in ~/.zshrc
