Description samtan106 2025-12-16 19:01:55 UTC

For context, poetry had an issue with it not picking up a specific python version and always defaulting to the system python version. Here is the issue discussing this: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/10490

Here is the PR that fixes this by setting an upper bound to its virtualenv dependency: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/10491

However, in fedora, when packaging poetry, we remove upper bounds on certain packages including virtualenv: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/poetry/blob/rawhide/f/poetry.spec#_62, which causes the issue to reappear for anyone using this package. 

Since, I, like many people, work on python projects for work that are older than the system version, this is quite disruptive. 

Example of someone else facing this issue: https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/10655

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Ben Beasley 2025-12-16 19:31:42 UTC

It seems like the upstream pin was lifted in https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/commit/9f276d3dab71ba741107a5a7f4efc12fdda5cb0b, which was released in Poetry 2.2.0. That would suggest that this should already be fixed in Rawhide, and also that backporting the source-code change from that commit may be a fix for branches with older versions of Poetry, such as F43.
