python version suggestion

[cnsino]

Is it possible to specify the python version at the time of installation? Instead of installing python3.10 by default

@cnsino is this about the version that Rye installs itself? You can tell the installer to pick a different version:

curl -sSf https://rye-up.com/get | RYE_TOOLCHAIN="3.11" bash

[cnsino]

Not as expected, it still installed 3.10

[mitsuhiko]

Indeed. Currently it only lets you pick an already installed version. I will have a look at changing this.

Relatedly, I think the script now allows you to specify a particular toolchain but then ignores that command:

This script will automatically download and install rye (latest) for you.

Welcome to Rye!

This installer will install rye to /home/ubuntu/.rye
This path can be changed by exporting the RYE_HOME environment variable.

Details:
  Rye Version: 0.27.0
  Platform: linux (x86_64)
