Failed to prepare distributions

[Inasayang]

Steps to Reproduce

I uninstalled rye and reinstalled it in a different ___location.
When I open the previous project again and run rye sync, it gives an error.

❯ rye sync

error: Installation of dependencies failed in venv at C:\Users\inasa\Desktop\pyproject\.venv. uv exited with status: exit code: 2

But rye show can output the information correctly.

❯ rye show
project: pyproject

venv: C:\Users\inasa\Desktop\pyproject\.venv
target python: 3.8
venv python: [email protected]
virtual: false
configured sources:
  default (index: https://pypi.org/simple/)

But there are no issues with newly created projects.

I tried to delete .venv and then run rye sync, but there was still no change.

Expected Result

Where is "[email protected]", which evidently doesn't exist any more after uninstalling Rye, referenced in the files of your project? Do you want to download [email protected] as a "toolchain" or upgrade the project to the already available [email protected] of the new Rye installation?

[Inasayang]

upgrade the project to the already available [email protected] of the new Rye installation. How to do this?

I would try the following:

rye pin 3.12
rye sync -f

Using -f on sync will delete the old .venv instead of trying to use it, so it needs to reinstall everything.

[Inasayang]

When I execute rye sync -f, the following error occurs:

❯ rye sync -f 
error: failed to delete existing virtualenv (at 'C:\Users\inasa\Desktop\pyproject\.venv')

Caused by:
    Access is denied. (os error 5)

Running the cmd with administrator privileges also results in the same error.

But when I manually delete the .venv and then execute rye sync -f, it works.

When I open it again, it doesn't work.

Do you have any .python-version or .python-versions files in this directory or any above? Look everywhere :)

I also met the same issue, here's the log

  Caused by: Failed to create temporary virtualenv
  Caused by: Could not find a suitable Python executable for the virtual environment based on the interpreter: C:\Users\Administrator\.rye\py\[email protected]\python.exe

the temporary solution is rye fetch 3.12.3. I wonder why my rye requires 3.12.3 to operate everything?

[Inasayang]

the environment variables

RYE_HOME=D:\rye\bin
RYE_TOOLCHAIN=D:\rye\toolchain

Always look in the C:\Users\inasa\.rye directory.
