PIPX using latest Python 3.12 instead of system default

I am using pyenv for managing python installation in my system. Using pyenv I have installed python3.11.9 and set it as default with pyenv global 3.11.9, I have also added recommended commands by pyenv in my .zshrc file such that my system treats python 3.11.9 as default python.

Now, when I install pipx using brew install pipx, it also installs python3.12. And any installation done with pipx then uses python3.12 instead of system default 3.11.9.

How can I ensure that when I do brew install pipx? It installs using the default Python version instead of downloading the latest Python version.

Solution

  • to use your interpreter as default for pipx you need to install pipx with it interpreter.

    brew uninstall pipx
python3.11 -m pip install pipx
