06/15/2021, 5:11 PMbut also wondering whether other folks have strategies for passing through their settings for configuring python interpreters. i have:
Copy code
$ cat ~/.pants.rc
[python-setup]
# Avoid system python.
interpreter_search_paths = ["<PYENV>"]witty-crayon-22786

06/15/2021, 5:12 PMon my M1, I update the specific test itself to set interpreter constraints such that Py39 is chosen 😕
./pants test ::w
witty-crayon-22786
06/15/2021, 5:13 PMmm. ok. yea, we should maybe agree on a convention for choosing our interpreters in the pantsbuild/pants repo, and then ensure that it is passed through to tests.

06/15/2021, 5:14 PM@enough-analyst-54434: do you have a strategy for setting interpreter constraints / search path locally?

06/15/2021, 5:15 PMI have maybe 25 installs?
enough-analyst-54434
06/15/2021, 5:16 PMI don't pay any mind to Pants
enough-analyst-54434
06/15/2021, 5:16 PMI have lots of CPython 2.7, 3.5, ... 3.9, 3.10a PyPy ...
enough-analyst-54434
06/15/2021, 5:18 PMTo be fair, if I were on a Debian distro, I could have similar problems. Since they do the weird packaging where installing python with their package manager doesn't install the whole thing and you need to also install the venv module and ... etc.

06/15/2021, 5:19 PMwould you be opposed to agreeing on a convention for how we bust a hole through to the integration tests?

06/15/2021, 5:23 PMthe thing that off the cuff seems like it would have the minimum impact would be to add

06/15/2021, 5:24 PMI think you all are crazy for using macOS, but that sounds reasonable.

06/15/2021, 5:24 PMwould mean moving away from using

06/15/2021, 5:25 PMCouldn't you also set this in ~/.pants.rc mod bugs in how we handle lists and multiple config files?

06/15/2021, 6:14 PMsooo, that interpreter is not broken. @hundreds-father-404: i can spend a bit more time on this to help with filtering for you if need be? but i can also post a draft if you want to run with it

hundreds-father-404
06/15/2021, 6:15 PMSure on posting a draft, it's okay to not spend more time on this. I've made do and I use devbox for most testing now
