Unknown command or script: "pip"

Trying to set up wenv on Fedora 39, wine 9.1.

Installation seems to run well:

$ WENV_PYTHONVERSION=3.12.4 wenv init
wine: configuration in L"/home/<user>/.local/share/wenv/win32" has been updated.

But trying to execute a pip command yields:

wenv pip list
Unknown command or script: "pip"

How could this be fixed?

Seems that happens with any version, except for default version 3.7. Also python command itself is not found:

wenv python --version
Unknown command or script: "python"

With default version, wenv init shows an error:

ERROR: This script does not work on Python 3.7. The minimum supported Python version is 3.8. Please use https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/3.7/get-pip.py instead.

Nevertheless, after that, python command seems to work:

wenv python --version
Python 3.7.4

But pip does not:

wenv pip list
Unknown command or script: "pip"

If you're setting an option via an environment variable the way you do it, every subsequent command must be prefixed with mentioned environment variable, e.g. WENV_PYTHONVERSION=3.12.4 wenv pip install foo. Alternatively, you can of cause alter this option also via configuration files etc.

Thank you, that works!

Ways to persist:

• exporting environment variable (e.g. something like export WENV_PYTHONVERSION=3.12.4)
• config (see example here), e.g. put the following into .wenv.json in the directory where you execute wenv:

  {
  "pythonversion": "3.12.4"
  }

Could this possibly be emphasized a little more in the official documentation?

Sure, this can be done.
