Managing Multiple Python Versions with Pyenv: Installation and Configuration Guide
Python version management is critical in modern development environments. Pyenv, a popular tool for this purpose, allows developers to seamlessly switch between Python versions. However, discrepancies can arise between the configured pyenv version and the system's active Python installation.
This technical guide addresses a specific issue: when pyenv global is set to version 3.10.10, but python3 --version reports an older version. The root cause often lies in shell configuration, PATH variable ordering, or shim directory precedence.
