System vs. Poetry-managed Python interpreters

[frenzymadness]

Hi.

I see the new experimental feature in Poetry that allows it to install standalone builds of Python, and I'd like to ask about your future plans for that feature.

I'm asking as a maintainer of Python packages in Fedora Linux. Is there any automation planned for that feature – for example, a one that might install missing Python interpreters automatically?

If so, it might be a good idea to make it configurable. It'd be nice to give users the possibility to choose from poetry-managed standalone Python interpreters and system-managed ones. uv has that configuration and the config files hierarchy makes it possible to override the default behavior.

Thank you.

I think that would be good. I do not see why we shouldn't provide this option. I also think Poetry by default should prefer a system interpreter if available and compatible.

Thanks for pointing it out.
