Original author of Rye here: there are no official Python builds outside of macOS and Windows and the macOS builds cannot be installed programmatically. They also cannot be placed in any location other than the dedicated framework location which often causes issues for people who do not expect specific versions to be installed. Quite often installing the macOS builds of Python breaks other tools that expect a different version to be there.
I’m glad regular Python versions work for you, and you can register them with Rye. That’s very intentionally supported.
The goal of rye is to reach higher. It wants to see how close we can get to an experience you can get from node or Rust. That includes getting access to Python itself.
I have been programming Python since 2.2 and have helped countless of people over the years with their Python challenges. From mentoring to tutoring to just helping on IRC and other places. So many times people had a completely broken Python installation or ran into compilation errors. Even pyenv ships patches to make Python compile cleanly in some cases.
The indygreg builds have issues, no doubt about it. In an ideal world the PSF would distribute portable Python builds for all platforms.
