Install Python from local python build

[BruceChen2017]

Python does not publish official distributable binaries. As such, uv uses distributions from Astral python-build-standalone project

Due to some network issue, I try to download python build manually and put it on my machine.

Then can I install python by local python build binary without downloading from remote?

I read the documentation, it seems no such option

Is UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_MIRROR?

Distributions can be read from a local directory by using the file:// URL scheme.

What are you actually trying to do? You can just point any uv command to your Python with --python {path/to/build}.

UV_PYTHON_INSTALL_MIRROR works for me

@FishAlchemist thanks. It works now.

@charliermarsh thanks. I want to install python distribution locally without downloading python build from remote.
