Body

Hi everyone,

I built a lightweight Python version manager for POSIX systems called PVM.

It allows you to:

• install multiple Python versions
• switch between versions easily
• manage environments in a simple way

I created it as a simpler alternative to tools like pyenv.

I’d really appreciate feedback from the community:

This looks like a clean and promising project. A lightweight alternative to tools like pyenv is definitely useful, especially for beginners or quick setups.

One suggestion would be to clearly document how PVM differs internally (e.g., shims vs PATH manipulation). That helps users understand trade-offs.
