@comrumino I think normalizing like `(cd $path; echo $PWD)` would be the easiest way -- as it removes `..`s without resolving links.

@comrumino `realpath` and `readlink` resolve links. We don't need that since there may be links in `$PYENV_ROOT` or under `$PYENV_ROOT/versions`.

@pyenv/pyenv-core-maintainers Any opinions? AFAICS, the tool is completely independent from Pyenv and its bundled completions, it maintains its own database (I dunno how flexible and that probably means that it's...

What's the expected behavior? Install all? First? Highest (it's a separate question how to determine it)? The current behavior is probably the best -- it effectively shows that Pyenv doesn't...

Envvars: `CPPFLAGS` (`-I` switches should preferrably go here), `CFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS`, `CONFIGURE_OPTS` -- for all packages; `PYTHON_` for switches that should only affect Python build and not any dep builds. https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/tree/master/plugins/python-build#special-environment-variables...

Huh? [Choosing the Python version section](https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv#choosing-the-python-version) introduces all the ways to switch between versions, including `local` and `global`.

@alper I understood it just fine when I first learned Pyenv in order to answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40718770/pytest-running-with-another-version-of-python/40720333#40720333. Since then, I've seen so many people making a mess of pyenv+virtualenv+system Python and...
