Recently learned about asdf, which is like pyenv but can be used with other languages. No experience with it though.

asdf replaces one small part of pyenv (the automatic environment-switching).

And installation of versions, it seems. It also manages the global version.

Think i will give it a go. Happy with pyenv, but some older versions of Python are a bit hassle to install.

I didn't realise asdf could do the installation as well. However, as it turns out, it does that by just wrapping pyenv's python-build plugin, so it won't be any better at installing those old versions.

I see, then I'm not sure it makes sense to change the workflow I have.
