[FIXED] pyenv: poetry itself, running on older python version, what to do?

Issue

Update:

Which Python should I use to install poetry?

• System Python: That is an excellent idea. Once, however, poetry self update was trying to update a system package without the necessary permissions.
• Pyenv: A good solution. Nonetheless, if Python is updated and the old installation is deleted, poetry will stop working because it is not aware of the new python version.

---

• Set global python with pyenv

pyenv global 3.10.7

• Install poetry

$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

• Change global python

pyenv global 3.10.8

Now, poetry still runs on Python-3.10.7. If I uninstall this python version, poetry crashes.

How can I instruct the virtual environment of poetry to use the new python version?

A solution is to uninstall and reinstall it:

$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 - --uninstall
$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

Is there any other way?

Solution

The decision is to use Pyenv to install Poetry.

If the older python version should be deleted:

• Uninstall Poetry.
• Delete old Python version.
• Install Poetry.
