"pyenv: python3.11: command not found" despite having selected a global version

i saw that, but it was not apparent that this step is required in order for the shims to work. maybe a debugging / FAQ type item could be added for those who run into the same issue?

You have selected 3.12 as the global version, not 3.11:

+(/home/ubuntu/.pyenv/libexec/pyenv-version-file-read:6): VERSION_FILE=/home/ubuntu/.pyenv/version
<...>
+(/home/ubuntu/.pyenv/libexec/pyenv-version-file-read:28): read -n 1024 -r version _
+(/home/ubuntu/.pyenv/libexec/pyenv-version-file-read:29): [[ -z 3.12 ]]
<...>

[native-api]

Note that if you need multiple versions available, you can select them all:

pyenv global 3.12 3.11

They'll be searched for the executable you're trying to run in the specified order.

aha, thanks. it would be helpful to document this! (also maybe the default for pyenv install should be to install into global.)
