General Questions • Re: Looking for apt-installable python-3.14 under trixie

In my mind it's just lazy and stupid for a programmer to tie the program to some version of the program language.

I too use pyenv, which @blackbird mentioned.

And in bash scripts where I use also python3, my shebang is

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

So it can any python3 version. This does not require even pyenv.

Who said that I ever wanted to tie any program to a specific version of python? Certainly not me.

Once I get python3.14 installed, I plan to do what I always have been doing for ages: to run python3.14 -m venv venv in appropriate directories, set up PATH correctly, and then use the #!/usr/bin/env python3 convention.
