Manage Python versions and installations
Generally, uv first searches for Python in a virtual environment, either active or in a
`.venv` directory in the current working directory or any parent directory. If a virtual
environment is not required, uv will then search for a Python interpreter. Python
interpreters are found by searching for Python executables in the `PATH` environment
variable.
On Windows, the registry is also searched for Python executables.
By default, uv will download Python if a version cannot be found. This behavior can be
disabled with the `--no-python-downloads` flag or the `python-downloads` setting.
The `--python` option allows requesting a different interpreter.
The following Python version request formats are supported:
- `<version>` e.g. `3`, `3.12`, `3.12.3`
- `<version-specifier>` e.g. `>=3.12,<3.13`
- `<version><short-variant>` (e.g., `3.13t`, `3.12.0d`)
- `<version>+<variant>` (e.g., `3.13+freethreaded`, `3.12.0+debug`)
- `<implementation>` e.g. `cpython` or `cp`
- `<implementation>@<version>` e.g. `cpython@3.12`
- `<implementation><version>` e.g. `cpython3.12` or `cp312`
- `<implementation><version-specifier>` e.g. `cpython>=3.12,<3.13`
- `<implementation>-<version>-<os>-<arch>-<libc>` e.g. `cpython-3.12.3-macos-aarch64-none`
Additionally, a specific system Python interpreter can often be requested with:
- `<executable-path>` e.g. `/opt/homebrew/bin/python3`
- `<executable-name>` e.g. `mypython3`
- `<install-dir>` e.g. `/some/environment/`
When the `--python` option is used, normal discovery rules apply but discovered interpreters
are checked for compatibility with the request, e.g., if `pypy` is requested, uv will first
check if the virtual environment contains a PyPy interpreter then check if each executable
in the path is a PyPy interpreter.
uv supports discovering CPython, PyPy, and GraalPy interpreters. Unsupported interpreters
will be skipped during discovery. If an unsupported interpreter implementation is requested,
uv will exit with an error.
Usage: uv python [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>
Commands:
list List the available Python installations
install Download and install Python versions
upgrade Upgrade installed Python versions
find Search for a Python installation
pin Pin to a specific Python version
dir Show the uv Python installation directory
uninstall Uninstall Python versions
update-shell Ensure that the Python executable directory is on the `PATH`
Cache options:
-n, --no-cache
Avoid reading from or writing to the cache, instead using a temporary directory for the
duration of the operation
[env: UV_NO_CACHE=]
--cache-dir [CACHE_DIR]
Path to the cache directory.
Defaults to `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/uv` or `$HOME/.cache/uv` on macOS and Linux, and
`%LOCALAPPDATA%/uv/cache` on Windows.
To view the location of the cache directory, run `uv cache dir`.
[env: UV_CACHE_DIR=]
Python options:
--managed-python
Require use of uv-managed Python versions.
By default, uv prefers using Python versions it manages. However, it will use system
Python versions if a uv-managed Python is not installed. This option disables use of
system Python versions.
[env: UV_MANAGED_PYTHON=]
--no-managed-python
Disable use of uv-managed Python versions.
Instead, uv will search for a suitable Python version on the system.
[env: UV_NO_MANAGED_PYTHON=]
--no-python-downloads
Disable automatic downloads of Python. [env: "UV_PYTHON_DOWNLOADS=never"]
Global options:
-q, --quiet...
Use quiet output.
Repeating this option, e.g., `-qq`, will enable a silent mode in which uv will write no
output to stdout.
-v, --verbose...
Use verbose output.
You can configure fine-grained logging using the `RUST_LOG` environment variable.
(<https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/filter/struct.EnvFilter.html#directives>)
--color <COLOR_CHOICE>
Control the use of color in output.
By default, uv will automatically detect support for colors when writing to a terminal.
Possible values:
- auto: Enables colored output only when the output is going to a terminal or TTY with
support
- always: Enables colored output regardless of the detected environment
- never: Disables colored output
--native-tls
Whether to load TLS certificates from the platform's native certificate store.
By default, uv loads certificates from the bundled `webpki-roots` crate. The
`webpki-roots` are a reliable set of trust roots from Mozilla, and including them in uv
improves portability and performance (especially on macOS).
However, in some cases, you may want to use the platform's native certificate store,
especially if you're relying on a corporate trust root (e.g., for a mandatory proxy)
that's included in your system's certificate store.
[env: UV_NATIVE_TLS=]
--offline
Disable network access.
When disabled, uv will only use locally cached data and locally available files.
[env: UV_OFFLINE=]
--allow-insecure-host <ALLOW_INSECURE_HOST>
Allow insecure connections to a host.
Can be provided multiple times.
Expects to receive either a hostname (e.g., `localhost`), a host-port pair (e.g.,
`localhost:8080`), or a URL (e.g., `https://localhost`).
WARNING: Hosts included in this list will not be verified against the system's certificate
store. Only use `--allow-insecure-host` in a secure network with verified sources, as it
bypasses SSL verification and could expose you to MITM attacks.
[env: UV_INSECURE_HOST=]
--no-progress
Hide all progress outputs.
For example, spinners or progress bars.
[env: UV_NO_PROGRESS=]
--directory <DIRECTORY>
Change to the given directory prior to running the command.
Relative paths are resolved with the given directory as the base.
See `--project` to only change the project root directory.
[env: UV_WORKING_DIRECTORY=]
--project <PROJECT>
Run the command within the given project directory.
All `pyproject.toml`, `uv.toml`, and `.python-version` files will be discovered by walking
up the directory tree from the project root, as will the project's virtual environment
(`.venv`).
Other command-line arguments (such as relative paths) will be resolved relative to the
current working directory.
See `--directory` to change the working directory entirely.
This setting has no effect when used in the `uv pip` interface.
[env: UV_PROJECT=]
--config-file <CONFIG_FILE>
The path to a `uv.toml` file to use for configuration.
While uv configuration can be included in a `pyproject.toml` file, it is not allowed in
this context.
[env: UV_CONFIG_FILE=]
--no-config
Avoid discovering configuration files (`pyproject.toml`, `uv.toml`).
Normally, configuration files are discovered in the current directory, parent directories,
or user configuration directories.
[env: UV_NO_CONFIG=]

----- stdout -----
Download and install Python versions.
Supports CPython and PyPy. CPython distributions are downloaded from the Astral
`python-build-standalone` project. PyPy distributions are downloaded from `python.org`. The
available Python versions are bundled with each uv release. To install new Python versions, you may
need upgrade uv.
Python versions are installed into the uv Python directory, which can be retrieved with `uv python
dir`.
By default, Python executables are added to a directory on the path with a minor version suffix,
e.g., `python3.13`. To install `python3` and `python`, use the `--default` flag. Use `uv python dir
--bin` to see the target directory.
Multiple Python versions may be requested.
See `uv help python` to view supported request formats.
Usage: uv python install [OPTIONS] [TARGETS]...
Arguments:
[TARGETS]...
The Python version(s) to install.
If not provided, the requested Python version(s) will be read from the `UV_PYTHON`
environment variable then `.python-versions` or `.python-version` files. If none of the
above are present, uv will check if it has installed any Python versions. If not, it will
install the latest stable version of Python.
See `uv help python` to view supported request formats.
[env: UV_PYTHON=]
Options:
-i, --install-dir <INSTALL_DIR>
The directory to store the Python installation in.
If provided, `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR` will need to be set for subsequent operations for uv
to discover the Python installation.
See `uv python dir` to view the current Python installation directory. Defaults to
`~/.local/share/uv/python`.
[env: UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR=]
--no-bin
Do not install a Python executable into the `bin` directory.
This can also be set with `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_BIN=0`.
--no-registry
Do not register the Python installation in the Windows registry.
This can also be set with `UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_REGISTRY=0`.
--mirror <MIRROR>
Set the URL to use as the source for downloading Python installations.
The provided URL will replace
`https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/download` in, e.g.,
`https://github.com/astral-sh/python-build-standalone/releases/download/20240713/cpython-3.12.4%2B20240713-aarch64-apple-darwin-install_only.tar.gz`.
Distributions can be read from a local directory by using the `file://` URL scheme.
--pypy-mirror <PYPY_MIRROR>
Set the URL to use as the source for downloading PyPy installations.
The provided URL will replace `https://downloads.python.org/pypy` in, e.g.,
`https://downloads.python.org/pypy/pypy3.8-v7.3.7-osx64.tar.bz2`.
Distributions can be read from a local directory by using the `file://` URL scheme.
--python-downloads-json-url <PYTHON_DOWNLOADS_JSON_URL>
URL pointing to JSON of custom Python installations.
Note that currently, only local paths are supported.
-r, --reinstall
Reinstall the requested Python version, if it's already installed.
By default, uv will exit successfully if the version is already installed.
-f, --force
Replace existing Python executables during installation.
By default, uv will refuse to replace executables that it does not manage.
Implies `--reinstall`.
--default
Use as the default Python version.
By default, only a `python{major}.{minor}` executable is installed, e.g., `python3.10`.
When the `--default` flag is used, `python{major}`, e.g., `python3`, and `python`
executables are also installed.
Alternative Python variants will still include their tag. For example, installing
3.13+freethreaded with `--default` will include in `python3t` and `pythont`, not `python3`
and `python`.
If multiple Python versions are requested, uv will exit with an error.
Cache options:
-n, --no-cache
Avoid reading from or writing to the cache, instead using a temporary directory for the
duration of the operation
[env: UV_NO_CACHE=]
--cache-dir [CACHE_DIR]
Path to the cache directory.
Defaults to `$XDG_CACHE_HOME/uv` or `$HOME/.cache/uv` on macOS and Linux, and
`%LOCALAPPDATA%/uv/cache` on Windows.
To view the location of the cache directory, run `uv cache dir`.
[env: UV_CACHE_DIR=]
