Hello,

I am attempting to install bespokeasm on Pop_OS!

I tried updating Python. Here is what happened:

You also want to install python3.12-venv:

sudo apt install python3.12-venv

At this point you have multiple versions of Python installed. looks like 3.10 is you default install. That's OK. To use 3.12, just be explicit with your version:

python3.12 --version

That means when you install the virtual environment, use the full version:

python3.12 -m venv .venv/bespokeasm/

Then when you activate the virtual environment, you can simply used python and 3.12 will be used.

That works. Thanks very much.
