uv installs Python and allows quickly switching between versions.
Install multiple Python versions:
$ uv python install 3.10 3.11 3.12 Searching for Python versions matching: Python 3.10 Searching for Python versions matching: Python 3.11 Searching for Python versions matching: Python 3.12 Installed 3 versions in 3.42s + cpython-3.10.14-macos-aarch64-none + cpython-3.11.9-macos-aarch64-none + cpython-3.12.4-macos-aarch64-none
Download Python versions as needed:
$ uv venv --python 3.12.0 Using Python 3.12.0 Creating virtual environment at: .venv Activate with: source .venv/bin/activate$ uv run --python pypy@3.8 -- python --version Python 3.8.16 (a9dbdca6fc3286b0addd2240f11d97d8e8de187a, Dec 29 2022, 11:45:30) [PyPy 7.3.11 with GCC Apple LLVM 13.1.6 (clang-1316.0.21.2.5)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>>>
Use a specific Python version in the current directory:
$ uv python pin pypy@3.11 Pinned `.python-version` to `pypy@3.11`
