tox: Force the virtual environment to be recreated.

$ tox --recreate -e ${py27}

try on your machine

The command tox --recreate -e ${py27} is used to execute a specific environment called "py27" using the tox tool.

Here's the breakdown of the command:

tox: tox is a generic virtualenv management and test command line tool. It automates the process of creating virtual environments, installing dependencies, and running test suites.
--recreate: This flag indicates that the virtual environment needs to be recreated before running the command. It essentially removes the existing virtual environment and sets up a fresh one for the specified environment.
-e ${py27}: This option specifies the environment to be executed. In this case, it refers to an environment named "py27". A tox environment typically consists of a set of dependencies (specified in a tox.ini file) and test configurations.

So when you run tox --recreate -e ${py27}, it will recreate the "py27" environment, including installing any necessary dependencies, and then execute the tests or commands defined in the configuration associated with that environment.
