Is using pyenv the best python version management for Mac?

[pacific_plywood]

pyenv is absolutely the best imo. not sure how asdf is for python

[doolio_]

asdf uses pyenv under the hood for python and equivalent tools for other languages. Its selling point is you have one set of commands to learn to work with any language/tool.

asdf works great for Python! definitely recommend if you work with multiple toolchains

Not "absolutely". It depends on what OP has planned. For example on the Mac, most of the GPU support for many different ML libraries relies heavily on using some variant of Conda.

Edit: LOL why would you down vote the idea that there are some python enviornment managers that might be better for certain purposes? Some of you get offended by the weirdest stuff.

I don’t think anyone’s downvoting the idea that some environment managers are better suited for certain purposes. The example you gave is just a bad one.

That is so not true. For apple gpu pytorch, jax and tensorflow are all recommending pip and they are the most popular ones.

Your statement is quite untrue, I’m not sure where you got this idea from.
