## Summary
This PR adds system install tests to verify the behavior described in
#2798. It turns out this behavior _also_ affects Fedora and Amazon
Linux, we just didn't have the right conditions enabled (specifically,
you need to create the virtualenv with `python -m venv` to get these
symlinks), so the test suite was expanded to capture that.
The issue itself is also fixed by way of deduplicating the
`site-packages` entries.
Closes: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2798
## Summary
It turns out that `normalize_path` (sourced from Cargo) has a subtle
bug. If you pass it a relative path that traverses beyond the root, it
silently drops components. So, e.g., passing `../foo/bar`, it will just
drop the leading `..` and return `foo/bar`.
This PR encodes that behavior as a `Result` and avoids using it in such
cases.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/3012.

A first step towards Python toolchain management in Rust.
First, we add a new crate to manage Python download metadata:
- Adds a new `uv-toolchain` crate
- Adds Rust structs for Python version download metadata
- Duplicates the script which downloads Python version metadata
- Adds a script to generate Rust code from the JSON metadata
- Adds a utility to download and extract the Python version
I explored some alternatives like a build script using things like
`serde` and `uneval` to automatically construct the code from our
structs but deemed it to heavy. Unlike Rye, I don't generate the Rust
directly from the web requests and have an intermediate JSON layer to
speed up iteration on the Rust types.
Next, we add add a `uv-dev` command `fetch-python` to download Python
versions per the bootstrapping script.
- Downloads a requested version or reads from `.python-versions`
- Extracts to `UV_BOOTSTRAP_DIR`
- Links executables for path extension
This command is not really intended to be user facing, but it's a good
PoC for the `uv-toolchain` API. Hash checking (via the sha256) isn't
implemented yet, we can do that in a follow-up.
Finally, we remove the `scripts/bootstrap` directory, update CI to use
the new command, and update the CONTRIBUTING docs.

Scott schafer got me the idea: We can avoid repeating the path for
workspaces dependencies everywhere if we declare them in the virtual
package once and treat them as workspace dependencies from there on.
It is a common pattern to have an active conda base env (that sets
`CONDA_PREFIX`) and then create a venv on top of that (setting
`VIRTUAL_ENV`).
Previously, we would error when both `VIRTUAL_ENV` and `CONDA_PREFIX`
were set, now `VIRTUAL_ENV` takes precedence over `CONDA_PREFIX`.
Fixes#2028
## Summary
This PR changes our user-facing representation for paths to use relative
paths, when the path is within the current working directory. This
mirrors what we do in Ruff. (If the path is _outside_ the current
working directory, we print an absolute path.)
Before:
```shell
❯ uv venv .venv2
Using Python 3.12.2 interpreter at: /Users/crmarsh/workspace/uv/.venv/bin/python3
Creating virtualenv at: .venv2
Activate with: source .venv2/bin/activate
```
After:
```shell
❯ cargo run venv .venv2
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.15s
Running `target/debug/uv venv .venv2`
Using Python 3.12.2 interpreter at: .venv/bin/python3
Creating virtualenv at: .venv2
Activate with: source .venv2/bin/activate
```
Note that we still want to use the existing `.simplified_display()`
anywhere that the path is being simplified, but _still_ intended for
machine consumption (e.g., when passing to `.current_dir()`).
## Summary
If you have a file `typing.py` in the current working directory, `python
-m` doesn't work in some Python versions:
```sh
❯ python -m foo
Could not import runpy module
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/crmarsh/.local/share/rtx/installs/python/3.9.18/lib/python3.9/runpy.py", line 15, in <module>
import importlib.util
File "/Users/crmarsh/.local/share/rtx/installs/python/3.9.18/lib/python3.9/importlib/util.py", line 2, in <module>
from . import abc
File "/Users/crmarsh/.local/share/rtx/installs/python/3.9.18/lib/python3.9/importlib/abc.py", line 17, in <module>
from typing import Protocol, runtime_checkable
ImportError: cannot import name 'Protocol' from 'typing' (/Users/crmarsh/workspace/uv/typing.py)
```
This did _not_ cause problems for us on Python 3.11 or later, because we
set `PYTHONSAFEPATH`, which avoids adding the current working directory
to `sys.path`. However, on earlier versions, we _were_ failing with the
above. (It's important that we run interpreter discovery in the current
working directory, since doing otherwise breaks pyenv shims.)
The fix implemented here uses `-I` to run Python in isolated mode, which
is even stricter. The downside of isolated mode is that we currently
rely on setting `PYTHONPATH` to find the "fake module" that we create on
disk, and `-I` means `PYTHONPATH` is totally ignored. So, instead, we
run a script directly, and that _script_ injects the path we care about
into `PYTHONSAFEPATH`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2547.
## Summary
I tried out `cargo shear` to see if there are any unused dependencies
that `cargo udeps` isn't reporting. It turned out, there are a few. This
PR removes those dependencies.
## Test Plan
`cargo build`
## Summary
In reality, there's no such thing as the `site-packages` directory for a
given virtualenv. Rather, Python defines both `purelib` and `platlib`,
where the former is for pure-Python packages and the latter is for
packages that contain native code. These are almost always set to the
same thing... but they don't _have_ to be, and in fact of Fedora they
are not.
This PR changes the `site_packages` method to return an iterator of
directories.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2527.
## Summary
By running `get_interpreter_info.py` outside of the current working
directory, we seem to have broken pyenv shims.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2488.
## Test Plan
Without this change (resolving to the Homebrew Python, even though we
start with a shim):
```
DEBUG Starting interpreter discovery for Python @ `python3.11`

```
With this change:
```

DEBUG Found Python 3.11.1 for: /Users/crmarsh/.pyenv/shims/python3.11

```
The architecture of uv does not necessarily match that of the python
interpreter (#2326). In cross compiling/testing scenarios the operating
system can also mismatch. To solve this, we move arch and os detection
to python, vendoring the relevant pypa/packaging code, preventing
mismatches between what the python interpreter was compiled for and what
uv was compiled for.
To make the scripts more manageable, they are now a directory in a
tempdir and we run them with `python -m` . I've simplified the
pypa/packaging code since we're still building the tags in rust. A
`Platform` is now instantiated by querying the python interpreter for
its platform. The pypa/packaging files are copied verbatim for easier
updates except a `lru_cache()` python 3.7 backport.
Error handling is done by a `"result": "success|error"` field that allow
passing error details to rust:
```console
$ uv venv --no-cache
× Can't use Python at `/home/konsti/projects/uv/.venv/bin/python3`
╰─▶ Unknown operation system `linux`
```
I've used the [maturin sysconfig
collection](855f6d2cb1/sysconfig)
as reference. I'm unsure how to test these changes across the wide
variety of platforms.
Fixes#2326
## Summary
Per [PEP 508](https://peps.python.org/pep-0508/), `python_version` is
just major and minor:
Right now, we're using the provided version directly, so if it's, e.g.,
`-p 3.11.8`, we'll inject the wrong marker. This was causing `pandas` to
omit `numpy` when `-p 3.11.8` was provided, since its markers look like:
```
Requires-Dist: numpy<2,>=1.22.4; python_version < "3.11"
Requires-Dist: numpy<2,>=1.23.2; python_version == "3.11"
Requires-Dist: numpy<2,>=1.26.0; python_version >= "3.12"
```
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2392.
Preparing for #2058, i found it hard to follow where which discovery
function gets called. I moved all the discovery functions to a
`find_python` module (some exposed through `PythonEnvironment`) and
documented which subcommand uses which python discovery strategy.
No functional changes.
## Summary
It turns out that setuptools includes a shim to patch distutils. I'll
admit that I don't fully understand why or how it's different, but this
is the trick `pip` uses to ensure that it gets the "original" distutils.
We actually use distutils in two places: once for the system Python
scheme, and once for virtual environments. In virtualenv, they _do_ use
the patched distutils, so this could deviate in ways I don't understand.
Closes#2302.
## Summary
This PR enables use of the Windows Store Pythons even with `py` is not
installed. Specifically, we need to ensure that the `python.exe` and
`python3.exe` executables installed into the
`C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApp` directory _are_ used
when they're not "App execution aliases" (which merely open the Windows
Store, to help you install Python).
When `py` is installed, this isn't strictly necessary, since the
"resolved" executables are discovered via `py`. These look like
`C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbs5n2kfra8p0\python.exe`.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2264.
## Test Plan
- Removed all Python installations from my Windows machine.
- Uninstalled `py`.
- Enabled "App execution aliases".
- Verified that for both `cargo run venv --python python.exe` and `cargo
run venv --python python3.exe`, `uv` exited with a failure that no
Python could be found.
- Installed Python 3.10 via the Windows Store.
- Verified that the above commands succeeded without error.
- Verified that `cargo run venv --python python3.10.exe` _also_
succeeded.
## Summary
In #2102, I did some refactor, and changed a method to return the Python
executable path rather than the parent directory path. But I missed this
one codepath for Conda on Windows.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2269.
## Test Plan
- Installed micromamba on my Windows machine.
- Reproduced the failure in the linked issue.
- Verified that `python.exe` exists at `${CONDA_PREFIX}\python.exe`.
- Ran with this change; installed successfully.
## Summary
This PR adds support for pip's `--no-build-isolation`. When enabled,
build requirements won't be installed during PEP 517-style builds, but
the source environment _will_ be used when executing the build steps
themselves.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1715.
## Summary
`pip` uses `sysconfig` for Python 3.10 and later by default; however, it
falls back to `distutils` for earlier Python versions, and distros can
actually tell `pip` to continue falling back to `distutils` via the
`_PIP_USE_SYSCONFIG` variable.
By _always_ using `sysconfig`, we're doing the wrong then when
installing into some system Pythons, e.g., on Debian prior to Python
3.10.
This PR modifies our logic to mirror `pip` exactly, which is what's been
recommended to me as the right thing to do.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2113.
## Test Plan
Most notably, the new Debian tests pass here (which fail on main:
https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/2144).
I also added Pyston as a second stress-test.
## Summary
This PR migrates our virtualenv creation from a setup that assumes prior
knowledge of the correct paths, to a technique borrowed from
`virtualenv` whereby we use `sysconfig` and `distutils` to determine the
paths. The general trick is to grab the expected paths with `sysconfig`,
then make them all relative, then make them absolute for a given
directory.
Closes#2095.
Closes#2153.
## Summary
This makes `--python python3` and `--python 3.10` more consistent on
Windows.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2213.
## Test Plan
Ran `cargo run venv --python python3.12` with the Windows Store Python.
## Summary
We have logic in `python_query.rs` to filter out Windows Store shims
when you use invocations like `-p 3.10`, but not `--python python3`,
which is uncommon but allowed on Windows.
Closes#2211.
## Summary
Our Windows shim detection wasn't catching shims like `python3.12.exe`.
Closes#2208.
## Test Plan
Installed Python 3.12 via the Windows Store; verified that `cargo run
venv --python 3.12` failed before but passes after this change.
## Summary
This will make it easier to use the paths returned by `distutils.py`
(for some cases). No code or behavior changes; just removing some fields
we don't need.
## Summary
After https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/2121, the only remaining
issue is that calling `canonicalize` on these Pythons returns an error.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2105.
## Test Plan
Uninstalled all python.org Pythons on my Windows machine, then created a
virtualenv. The resulting config file:
```
Using Python 3.11.8 interpreter at: C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe
Creating virtualenv at: .venv
Activate with: .venv\Scripts\activate
PS C:\Users\crmar\workspace\puffin> cat .\.venv\pyvenv.cfg
home = C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.11.8
include-system-site-packages = false
uv = 0.1.13
prompt = puffin
```
Prior to this PR, it would fail with a canonicalization error.
Prior to #2121, it would leave a "bad" Python in the config file:
```
Using Python 3.11.8 interpreter at: C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\python.exe
Creating virtualenv at: .venv
Activate with: .venv\Scripts\activate
PS C:\Users\crmar\workspace\puffin> cat .\.venv\pyvenv.cfg
home = C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_3.11.2288.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0
implementation = CPython
version_info = 3.11.8
include-system-site-packages = false
uv = 0.1.13
prompt = puffin
```
Which, once activated, would fail with:
```
(venv) PS C:\Users\crmar\workspace\puffin> python
No Python at '"C:\Users\crmar\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python.exe'
```
## Summary
When I install via the Windows Store, `interpreter.base_prefix` contains
a bunch of resolved information that leads to a broken environment.
Instead, we now use `sys._base_executable` on Windows by default,
falling back to `sys.base_prefix` if it doesn't exist. (There are some
issues with `sys.base_executable` that lead to complexity in
`virtualenv`, but they only affect POSIX.) Admittedly, I don't know when
`sys._base_executable` wouldn't exist. It exists in all the environments
I've tested.
Additionally, we use the system interpreter directly if we're outside of
a virtualenv.
## Summary
Right now, we have virtualenv construction encoded in a few different
places. Namely, it happens in both `gourgeist` and
`virtualenv_layout.rs` -- _and_ `interpreter.rs` also encodes some
knowledge about how they work, by way of reconstructing the
`SysconfigPaths`.
Instead, `gourgeist` now returns the complete layout, enumerating all
the directories it created. So, rather than returning a root directory,
and re-creating all those paths in `uv-interpreter`, we pass the data
directly back to it.
## Summary
This is based on Pradyun's installer branch
(d01624e5f2/src/installer/scripts.py (L54)),
which is itself based on pip
(0ad4c94be7/src/pip/_vendor/distlib/scripts.py (L136)).
The gist of it is: on Posix platforms, if a path contains a space (or is
too long), we wrap the shebang in a `/bin/sh` invocation.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2076.

I'm not at all sure whether this is a correct fix or not, but it does
seem to make `pypy` work in at least some cases with `uv`. Previously,
I couldn't get it to work at all. Namely the virtualenv was created
with a `lib/python3.10/site-packages`, but whenever I did a `uv
pip install` in that virtualenv, it was looking for a non-existent
`lib/pypy3.10/site-packages` directory.
With this PR, the workflow reported as not working in #1488 now works
for me:
```

```
Notice though that neither outcome above matches the error reported in #1488,
so this is likely not a complete fix. There are perhaps other lurking
issues.
Ref #1488
`uv --system` is failing in GitHub Actions, because `py --list-paths`
returns all the pre-cached Pythons:
```
-V:3.12 * C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.12.2\x64\python.exe
-V:3.12-32 C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.12.2\x86\python.exe

-V:3.7-32 C:\hostedtoolcache\windows\Python\3.7.9\x86\python.exe
```
So, our default selector returns the first entry here. But none of these
are actually in `PATH` except the one that the user installed via
`actions/setup-python@v5` -- that's the point of the action, that it
puts the correct versions in `PATH`.
It seems to me like we should prioritize `PATH` over `py --list-paths`.
Is there a good reason not to do this?
Closes: https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2056
## Summary
We shouldn't be resolving symlinks on the provided interpreter;
otherwise we break `pyenv`, since running `cargo run pip install mypy
--python .venv/bin/python` will immediately resolve to (e.g.)
`/Users/crmarsh/.pyenv/versions/3.10.2/bin/python3.10`, and pyenv relies
on the path to do its lookups.
Instead, the canonicalizing happens when we query the interpreter
metadata.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2068.
## Test Plan
Ran `cargo run pip install mypy --python .venv/bin/python -v -n` with a
virtualenv created using a pyenv Python; verified that Mypy was
installed into the virtual environment, rather than into the global
environment.
## Summary
`PythonPlatform` only exists to format paths to directories within
virtual environments based on a root and an OS, so it's now
`VirtualenvLayout`.
`Virtualenv` is now used for non-virtual environment Pythons, so it's
now `PythonEnvironment`.
## Summary
Now that we have the ability to introspect the installed packages for
arbitrary Pythons, we can allow `pip freeze` and `pip list` to fall back
to the "default" Python, if no virtualenv is present.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2005.
## Summary
This PR aligns the `uv pip install --python` flag with the `uv venv
--python` flag, such that the former now accepts binary names and Python
versions by way of using the same `find_requested_python` method under
the hood.
## Summary
This PR adds a `--python` flag that allows users to provide a specific
Python interpreter into which `uv` should install packages. This would
replace the `VIRTUAL_ENV=` workaround that folks have been using to
install into arbitrary, system environments, while _also_ actually being
correct for installing into non-virtual environments, where the bin and
site-packages paths can differ.
The approach taken here is to use `sysconfig.get_paths()` to get the
correct paths from the interpreter, and then use those for determining
the `bin` and `site-packages` directories, rather than constructing them
based on hard-coded expectations for each platform.

## Test Plan
- Verified that, on my Windows machine, I was able to install `requests`
into a global environment with: `cargo run pip install requests --python
'C:\\Users\\crmarsh\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3.12\\python.exe`,
then `python` and `import requests`.
- Verified that, on macOS, I was able to install `requests` into a
global environment installed via Homebrew with: `cargo run pip install
requests --python $(which python3.8)`.
