virtualenvs.prefer-active-python is not respected #9278

Description

Good day,
I'm trying to make poetry use the currently active python provide by nix-shell but it still picks the one it was built with despite virtualenvs.prefer-active-python = true:

You can see that the virtual env uses python /nix/store/gd3shnza1i50zn8zs04fa729ribr88m9-python3-3.11.8/bin/python3.11 while the active python was /nix/store/kbgznx7akvi869qnnmhks820rhmgn66j-python3-3.11.8-env/bin/python.

/nix/store/gd3shnza1i50zn8zs04fa729ribr88m9-python3-3.11.8/bin/python3.11 is the Python poetry was built with:

Note everything up until the last line says python3.12 and it is python3.11 after that.

In my testing the problem is in virtualenv.cli_run in build_venv. Before that line:

Executable_str: ~/.asdf/installs/python/3.12.3/bin/python3.12
sys: ~/.local/pipx/venvs/poetry/bin/python
args: ['--no-download', '--no-periodic-update', '--python', '.../.asdf/installs/python/3.12.3/bin/python3.12', '--prompt', 'devops-fabric-py3.12', '--no-wheel', '.../.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs/devops-fabric-MXLzDq5t-py3.12']

This indicates that venv is being passed a path for python, but, somehow, is ignoring it.

hexmode · 2024-05-13T21:21:51Z

It looks like there is no --python parameter for current virtualenv. Instead, --try-first-with should be used.

Well, there is a --python but it looks like this needs --try-first-with.

If a tool like asdf provides a python that is first in the path, virtualenv does not use it even though it is the one used to invoke poetry. Using --try-first-with (introduced in 20.3.0) allows poetry to point to the prefered python. See https://virtualenv.pypa.io/en/latest/changelog.html#v20-3-0-2021-01-10 fixes python-poetry#9278

But --python is documented - and on a quick read of virtualenv code I don't see why it would not work. If that is not working, it probably wants reporting to virtualenv.

Are we passing an absolute path? Hard to tell above, looks like perhaps you have redacted the full path?

If we are not, perhaps the better fix is to pass an absolute path as --python

An absolute path is provided.
--python is documented, but so is --try-first-with.

Even though --try-first-with was originally created for Windows where the wrong python interpreter was being found, it seems to fit this use case as well.

If you have a reproducible example where --python should work but doesn't, please report that to virtualenv. Let's fix this for all virtualenv users, not just find a workaround in poetry only.

Perhaps you are seeing some version of pypa/virtualenv#2285?

It is indicated there that a pull request would be welcome.

I'd add that virtualenv releases considerably more often than poetry does, so if you are keen to see a fix hit the wild - it'll almost surely happen faster there.

Since you mentioned the absolute path being passed to --python, it looks like this is closer to this issue where the args are --try-first-with=/usr/bin/python3.10 -p /usr/bin/python3.8 and the resulting environment is 3.10.
