Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python

These builds are an alternative: https://github.com/indygreg/python-build-standalone

Those are what Rye and hatch use.

Drawbacks: late availability of patch versions, various quirks from how they are built (missing readline, missing some build info that self-compiled C python modules might need.)

I think PEP711 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0711/) is (eventually) a better alternative, because it builds on top of the proven manylinux approach to binary compatibility.

Those are proof of concept builds now and will eventually hopefully replace indygreg's builds.

Not only does the format need to exist but the service of building and publishing them is needed too.

Very cool, this is the first time I'm hearing of PEP 711! I hope this (or some other PEP like it) will get accepted eventually!

I hope this will be merged with indygreg builds at some point, but the community move slowly on those issues so it may take years.
