I have limited Python experience, but I always thought that’s what virtualenvs and requirements.txt files are for? When I used those, I found it easy enough to use.
pyenv and pyenv-virtualenv together solves this for me.
Virtualenv with specific python versions that work together well with other tools like pip or poetry.
Multiple versions, paths, and installs of Python. Using pip makes it worse.

It boils down to something like
$ pyenv install 3.12.7 $ pyenv virtualenv 3.12.7 myenv $ pyenv activate myenvand at that point you can do regular python stuff like pip installing etc.
If you’re having to type out version numbers in your commands, something is broken.
I ended up having to roll my own shell script wrapper to bring some sanity to Python.
