For this you dont neet .envrc and direnv, as this is handled perfectly fine by peen itself: pyenv local <pyenv / virtualenv name>

pyenv explicitly does NOT manage virtual environments:

https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

I use direnv because I work with many languages and repos and I don't want each language's version manager linked into my shell's profile. As well, direnv lets me control things besides the language version. Finally, direnv means I don't have to explicitly run any commands to set things up. I just cd to a directory.
