New release of pyenv to support Python 3.9.1

[bryanculbertson]

There has only been 6 commits since v1.2.21, but crucially one of them is support for Python 3.9.1. Would it be possible to cut a release and push to pypi?

v1.2.21...master

This would be fantastic, this also impacts those who have installed pyenv via homebrew, which just needs the release in github.

[quantumferret]

Yes please! It's frustrating to not have access to the latest python release through pyenv.

[Dr-ZeeD]

You can always do brew reinstall --HEAD pyenv when using homebrew :)

@joshfriend Can you please help us understand how to achieve this release?

[bryanculbertson]

Hi @yyuu 👋 since you have managed previous releases I am tagging you to see if we could get a v1.2.22 release for CPython 3.9.1. Thanks!

You can always do brew reinstall --HEAD pyenv when using homebrew :)

Actually it is

$ brew unlink pyenv
$ brew install --HEAD pyenv

[cclauss]

Yeah @Achimh3011 The HEAD hack is fine for individual developers but is not really recommended for production projects.

[Esgrove]

Is there something blocking this? Python 3.9.1 has already been out for a full month so it is sad to see this has still not been added.

[bryanculbertson]

Hi @poad 👋 I am tagging you since you submitted the PR to add support for Python 3.9.1. Could you assist in assembling a v1.2.22 release of pyenv to release your change to PyPi. Thanks!

[poad]

Hi @bryanculbertson.
I would like to assist, what exactly do I need to do?

Do I just need to make sure that the changes in plugins/python-build/share/python-build/3.9.1 are identical to #1752?

[bryanculbertson]

Hi @poad thank you for responding!

I don't know how to conduct a release, and if you don't know how to either, then we are probably stuck waiting on one of the pyenv maintainers to chime in @yyuu @joshfriend or @blueyed

From a little bit of research of looking at a previous release (v1.2.12...v1.2.13), it looks like you update https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md and https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv/blob/master/libexec/pyenv---version and then create a new github release.

This all seems simple, but probably need a maintainer to do the steps.

[poad]

Hi @bryanculbertson thank you for responding!

I don't know either, so I'll wait for a response from pyenv maintainers.

Thanks for letting me know.

[cclauss]

Well done @yyuu Thanks!

Something is wrong here as 1.2.21 does not list 3.9.1

pyenv --version
pyenv 1.2.21

Both pytenv-update and brew upgrade do not bring a newer version and pyenv install --list|grep 3.9 still does not list 3.9.1

Uninstalling and installing from head is clearly not what I would call a release process.

[dbowring]

@ssbarnea This issue was resolved for 1.2.22:

$ pyenv --version
pyenv 1.2.22

$ pyenv install --list | grep 3.9
  3.9.0
  3.9-dev
  3.9.1
  miniconda-3.9.1
  miniconda3-3.9.1

[muthukumars]

my pyenv is 2.0.7. python 3.9.1 is not available in pyenv install --list. any help?

[native-api]

@muthukumars It's available in 2.0.7. Check which Pyenv you're using, you might have two copies on your system.

[muthukumars]

@native-api thank you for responding. I have checked pyenv --version. it shows 2.0.7.

when I do pyenv install --list | grep 3.9

I get

3.9.0a4
3.9-dev
miniconda-3.9.1
miniconda3-3.9.1

for some reason, I do not see 3.9.1

Please suggest

[native-api]

Check the contents of $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-build/share/pyenv-build and $(which pyenv)/../plugins/pyenv-build/share/pyenv-build (if exists). There should be script files for all versions available for install.

[native-api]

I get

3.9.0a4

This definitely means that you have an older version installed -- most probably, one via Homebrew and another via Git checkout in ~/.pyenv. Assuming the more recent version is the Homebrew one, clean out everything from ~/.pyenv (except ~/.pyenv/versions if you wish to preserve the alt versions) and restart the terminal.

[muthukumars]

Super.. @native-api - Yes. I did that now I am able to see it. you are right. after cleaning, I am able to see it. thank you so much. I am just wondering what has happened in my laptop. thank you so much for helping.

if you can let me know after cleaning up ~./.pyenv - I am able to get the options. wondering what is happening in my laptop.

thank you
