"poetry use env /path/to/python" does not work as expected

[paul-michalik]

... or I am misunderstanding something? I install multiple Python versions. Then, I choose one of the versions e. g. python3.12 and install pipx via pip and via pipx poetry. Now for each project, I want to select a specific Python version via "poetry env use /path/to/python". However no matter what I do, poetry always creates the .venv using the python version I chose as a default. Any ideas? The environment is a Debian bookworm container.

This might be #10490. In other words, make sure that virtualenv<2.33 is installed in Poetry's own venv (pipx inject poetry "virtualenv<2.33") or install poetry from #10493 (pipx install git+https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry.git@refs/pull/10493/head) until 2.1.4 is released, which should happen soon.

Okay, thanks! However, installing pipx install poetry && pipx inject poetry "virtualenv<2.33" results in error No module named 'distutils' when trying to use poetry. Requesting a precise version solves the problem though for now: pipx inject poetry "virtualenv==20.32.0"
