What's your perfect Sunday?

How do you see this advice changing in 3-5 years?

This procedure was valid 5 years ago, and all the alternatives have changed a lot in the same time period.

So if I had to chose one way for the next decade, I would bet on this.

But I will not pretend we can be sure about anything on this matter.

In fact, my hope is that we can improve the process tremendously by creating an unified way of bootstrapping Python for all OS. If this ever happens, the procedure would become mostly obsolete.

At the end of the week I will write about this, and the various experiments the community have done so far in that regard.

There's a version of pyenv for windows called pyenv-win. The cli installs as `pyenv` and the commands are the same. So not game over imo.

Also, [even if it did], it installs binaries and doesn't compile.

You are not telling them to use pyenv, you are telling them to use a totally different tool that happen to have a similar name and provide a similar interface.

You have already lost.
