About pyenv
pyenv compiles Python versions into your home directory and selects one globally, per directory or per shell using shims on the path, so a project pins its interpreter without touching the system Python. Plugins add virtual environment management on top.
Strengths
- Per-directory Python version selection that survives shell restarts
- Never disturbs the system Python the operating system depends on
Limitations
- Compiles from source, so it needs build dependencies and takes time
- Shim-based path interception occasionally confuses other tooling
