Pipenv not picking up Python version from asdf

Question

Trying to create a Pipfile for a specific Python version, but pipenv fails to detect that the installed Python version is present. Using asdf to install and manage Python versions.

↪ python --version
Python 3.6.6

↪ pipenv --python 3.6.6
Warning: Python 3.6.6 was not found on your system…
You can specify specific versions of Python with:
  $ pipenv --python path/to/python


↪ asdf current python
3.6.6    (set by /Users/dennis/some/project/.tool-versions)

Answer 1

Recreate the shims for the desired Python version, then try again.

↪ asdf update

↪ asdf reshim python 3.6.6

↪ pipenv --python 3.6.6

This didn't work for me. Even passing pipenv --python 3.10.10, I still get Warning: Your Pipfile requires python_version 3.11, but you are using 3.10.10. – Aristate

@NickK9 do you have an existing Pipfile with an explicit python_version requirement that differs from the version you set with asdf? – Agnesse
