  {

What Gets Installed

This configuration installs pyenv (Python Version Manager), a popular tool for downloading, managing, and installing Python versions. Similar to nvm for Node.js, pyenv allows multiple Python versions to be installed simultaneously and switched between easily.

This configuration will:

• Install pyenv if not already present
• Install Python 3.12
• Set Python 3.12 as the default system version

Usage

After installation, you can:

• Check the Python version: python --version
• Switch Python versions: pyenv global <version> or pyenv local <version>
• Install additional versions: Add them to the pythonVersions array
• Change the default version: Update the global property
