`brew install poetry` depends on `python@3.10` and not using pyenv python (macOS)

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: macOS 12.3.1
• Poetry version: 1.1.13

Issue

I installed both pyenv and poetry by homebrew on macOS.

$ brew install pyenv
$ pyenv --version
pyenv 2.2.5

$ brew install poetry
$ poetry --version
Poetry version 1.1.13

I installed python 3.10.3 by pyenv

$ pyenv install 3.10.3
$ pyenv global 3.10.3
$ pyenv versions
  system
* 3.10.3 (set by ~/.pyenv/version)

# check python version and path
$ python --version
Python 3.10.3
$ ls -lh `which python`

Now I create a python project using poetry

$ mkdir hello
$ cd hello
$ poetry init -n

# enter venv
$ poetry shell

# Check python version. It's not 3.10.3
$ python --version
Python 3.10.2
$ ls -lh `which python`

The poetry uses brew’s python, not pyenv’s python. I did not install brew’s python manually, but brew’s poetry did.

Questions:

• Is the dependency python@3.10 necessary in poetry.rb for brew installation?
• How could I initiate a poetry project with specific pyenv’s python?

BTW, this issue could be resolved by reinstalling poetry with the official way:

# Uninstall poetry from brew
$ brew uninstall poetry

# Install poetry by official method
$ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -

# You need to reinstall packages by poetry
$ rm -r .venv
$ poetry install

# Now it points to pyenv's python
$ poetry shell
$ python --version
Python 3.10.3
$ ls -lh `which python`

I leave the issue opened for installing poetry with brew.

Homebrew installation is not an official one and is not maintained by the Poetry team. The only official ways are the ones that are mentioned in Poetry documentation.
