potry does not install python

[magnusja]

• 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: ArchLinux
• Poetry version: 0.12.11
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: not important I believe

Issue

$ poetry install -vvvvv

Why isn't poetry just fetching a compatible python version, installing it locallz and then installing dependencies instead of forcing me to handle this?

That's not what poetry is for. Use pyenv, pacman, or compile it yourself to install the appropriate python version.

Ok I see, would be quite handy though imho.

Would it be possible to make pyenv available to poetry, so that it finds all available versions and picks the correct one?
