Syncing UV with system python [follow up]

[Ben-Epstein]

Question

Similar to #6834 I am trying to use uv in CI to sync my lockfile with the system python.

I have a command like so
/bin/sh -c "UV_PROJECT_ENVIRONMENT=$(python -c \"import sysconfig; print(sysconfig.get_config_var('prefix'))\") uv sync" where the python command evaluates to

Using CPython 3.11.9
error: Project virtual environment directory `/usr/local` cannot be used because it is not a compatible environment but cannot be recreated because it is not a virtual environment

Is there any more detail as to what this means or how to debug it?

Thanks!

Platform

Version

It's probably a Python version mismatch. What does your project require? Do you have a .python-version file?

#11227 tracks improving the error here.
