Automatically install Python version needed for tool #7827
Conversation
@zanieb Is there precedent for installing Python versions via an override of |
Yeah we need to figure out a testing strategy for that but haven't yet. The idea is to setup |
Got it, that makes a lot of sense — thanks again for the feedback! |
## Summary This PR revives #7827 to improve tool resolutions such that, if the resolution fails, and the selected interpreter doesn't match the required Python version from the solve, we attempt to re-solve with a newly-discovered interpreter that _does_ match the required Python version. For now, we attempt to choose a Python interpreter that's greater than the inferred `requires-python`, but compatible with the same Python minor. This helps avoid successive failures for cases like Posting, where choosing Python 3.13 fails because it has a dependency that lacks source distributions and doesn't publish any Python 3.13 wheels. We should further improve the strategy to solve _that_ case too, but this is at least the more conservative option... In short, if you do `uv tool instal posting`, and we find Python 3.8 on your machine, we'll detect that `requires-python: >=3.11`, then search for the latest Python 3.11 interpreter and re-resolve. Closes #6381. Closes #10282. ## Test Plan The following should succeed: ``` cargo run python uninstall --all cargo run python install 3.8 cargo run tool install posting ``` In the logs, we see: ``` ...

This PR adds support for automatically installing the Python version required for a given tool, should it not already be installed.
(Tests I added fails, working on it)
Closes #6381
