Plugins

See Authoring plugins for instructions on how to write new commands for pyenv or hook into its functionality.

A plugin can be installed by dropping it in as a sub-directory of $PYENV_ROOT/plugins, or it can be located elsewhere on the system as long as pyenv-* executables are placed in the $PATH and hooks are installed accordingly somewhere in $PYENV_HOOK_PATH.
