fetch

Fetches a Python interpreter for the local machine. This command is available under the aliases rye fetch and rye toolchain fetch.

As of Rye 0.31.0 toolchains are always fetched without build info. This means that in the folder where toolchains are stored only the interpreter is found. For more information see Fetching Toolchains.

Example

Fetch a specific version of Python:

$ rye fetch 3.8.13

To fetch the pinned version of Python you can leave out the argument:

$ rye fetch

To fetch a version of Python into a specific location rather than rye's interpreter cache:

$ rye fetch [email protected] --target-path=my-interpreter
