• Treat specs with dot-only version components, such as python., as literal executable paths instead of raising IndexError by @​harbinresearcher and @​gaborbernat. (#147)

v1.6.7 (2026-10-28)

---

.. _release-1-6-7-fixed:

Fixed

• Rank uv's minor version links behind the concrete install on Windows too, where uv creates them as directory junctions that Path.is_symlink() does not report (:pr:170) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
• Stop a venv lookup from rewriting the executable of earlier results, PythonInfo.current() and PythonInfo.current_system() when they share its base interpreter (:pr:171) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.

v1.6.6 (2026-10-27)

---

.. _release-1-6-6-fixed:

Fixed

• Treat version specifiers with an item that cannot be parsed, such as >=3.x, >=3.12 <4 or >=3.12,foo, as literal executable paths instead of raising a bare AssertionError or ignoring the item during discovery (:pr:157) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
• Accept relative interpreter paths that step up a directory, such as ../venv/bin/python, which were found and queried but never matched the spec (:pr:158) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
• Match ~=X.Y compatible-release specifiers against later minor versions, as PEP 440 defines, instead of only the same minor; ~=3.10 now accepts 3.11 and newer 3.x (:pr:159) by :user:darrenhuai and :user:gaborbernat.
