Why do you need pyenv to set PATH?

Maybe you don’t, but it’s a way of doing it.
Specifically, pyenv will dynamically and programmatically link the $PATH for the Python executables (python, pip, etc.) to the desired version as defined either by an environment variable or by the contents of a .python-version file in CWD or an ancestor thereof. The .python-version file can be checked into version control.
