I’m trying to setup a new environment (Windows WSL running Ubuntu) - is there a requirement for there to be at least a system Python 3.7/.8/.9 instead of relying on pyenv? I have pyenv installed and 3.10.2 (required by the project that Pants is running) and also installed 3.9.12 and set as global via pyenv but pants can’t find a python interpreter. I have…

[python-bootstrap]
search_path = ["<PYENV>"]

and I tried adding

"<PATH>"

but that didn’t help

is there more to the stacktrace? I'm wondering if this is the

./pants

bash runner script, vs Pants itself

[python-bootstrap].search_path

impacts the interpreters Pants finds to run your own code. It does not impact what is used to run Pants itself

Yeah, this is just from running

./pants

Cool. FYI we're discussing at Toolchain today what some of us can focus on next 2-3 weeks to improve onboarding Making it easier to install Pants is one top idea. At least once a week folks have issues with this - it's too complex

Hi all! I am trying out Pants from a M1 macbook, using pyenv for python versions and was having some issues with pyenv and pants agreeing on a python executable. Found this little thread, set PYTHON env var and it seems to be working (for now) Thanks!!

Cool, thanks Santiago. And welcome!
