I found pyenv to be buggy at times, not properly setting the default (global) python version. I ultimately uninstalled pyenv and also uninstalled any additional Python installs outside of the system default.

Now, I do 100% of my Python work inside of Docker containers. This has solved any issues I’ve ever had with Python environments and PYTHONPATH . It’s also made me a stronger developer when it comes to using Docker.

I don’t see myself ever going back. A Docker container is the perfect Python environment.
