Installing poetry fails looking for libpython3.12.dylib

[flou]

When trying to install poetry using mise the command fails because it's trying to find the libpython library

I have Python 3.12.1 already installed with mise

$ mise ls
Plugin          Version                   Config Source              Requested
python          3.12.1                    ~/.config/mise/config.toml latest

$ which python
/Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/python/latest/bin/python

$ which python3
/Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/python/latest/bin/python3

And when I try to install poetry, I have this error from the poetry install script:

$ mise install poetry
mise ~/.local/share/mise/plugins/poetry/bin/install failed
Retrieving Poetry metadata

# Welcome to Poetry!

This will download and install the latest version of Poetry,
a dependency and package manager for Python.

It will add the `poetry` command to Poetry's bin directory, located at:

/Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/poetry/1.7.1/bin

You can uninstall at any time by executing this script with the --uninstall option,
and these changes will be reverted.

See /Users/lou/poetry-installer-error-k116up16.log for error logs.

Cleanup: Something went wrong!

47 /Users/lou/.local/share/mise/plugins/poetry/bin/install: POETRY_HOME=$install_path python3 - --version "$version" $flags
mise ~/.local/share/mise/plugins/poetry/bin/install exited with non-zero status: exit code 250
mise Run with --verbose or MISE_VERBOSE=1 for more information

Looking at the installer logs I see that it's trying to load libpython3.12.dylib

$ cat /Users/lou/poetry-installer-error-k116up16.log
dyld[23548]: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../lib/libpython3.12.dylib
  Referenced from: <C52F33D7-CDE0-3C12-B153-B6C7E6AA1600> /Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/poetry/1.7.1/venv/bin/python3
  Reason: tried: '/Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/poetry/1.7.1/venv/lib/libpython3.12.dylib' (no such file)

Traceback:

The directory /Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/poetry is empty but I was able to find a matching dylib in ~/.local/share/mise/

$ fd libpython /Users/lou/.local/share/mise/
/Users/lou/.local/share/mise/installs/python/3.12.1/lib/libpython3.12.dylib

I just ran into this and a coworker found this upstream issue: python-poetry/install.python-poetry.org#24

I don't know if it makes sense to fix here or not...

don't use the precompiled binaries

Oh yes, thank you, reinstalling Python after running mise settings set python_compile 1 solves it.
