## Summary This PR revives https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/7827 to improve tool resolutions such that, if the resolution fails, and the selected interpreter doesn't match the required Python version from the solve, we attempt to re-solve with a newly-discovered interpreter that _does_ match the required Python version. For now, we attempt to choose a Python interpreter that's greater than the inferred `requires-python`, but compatible with the same Python minor. This helps avoid successive failures for cases like Posting, where choosing Python 3.13 fails because it has a dependency that lacks source distributions and doesn't publish any Python 3.13 wheels. We should further improve the strategy to solve _that_ case too, but this is at least the more conservative option... In short, if you do `uv tool instal posting`, and we find Python 3.8 on your machine, we'll detect that `requires-python: >=3.11`, then search for the latest Python 3.11 interpreter and re-resolve. Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/6381. Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/10282. ## Test Plan The following should succeed: ``` cargo run python uninstall --all cargo run python install 3.8 cargo run tool install posting ``` In the logs, we see: ``` ...
