Hi Éric,

Vinay is more up to date than I am on the current status of the
implementation. I need to update the PEP draft we worked on last spring
and get it posted (the WIP is at
https://bitbucket.org/carljm/pythonv-pep but is out of date with the
latest implementation work).

What about "venv"? It's short, it's already commonly used colloquially
to refer to virtualenv so it makes an accurate and unambiguous mental
association, but AFAIK it is currently unused as a script or module name.
