miss one command for the person who didn't install python version 3.12.7: pyenv install 3.12.7

Ooh, no, don't use pyenv 🙏
That would contradict the whole purpose of why we use uv in the first place. 😊
uv was designed to replace old pyenv and it has its own quick & much more efficient rust-based commands to install python

Example:
uv python install 3.12

The comment on pyenv was regarding the previous version of this text that was using pyenv (still visible in the revisions history), uv in nautilus is very new (today).

Also I don't think uv python install is necessary, uv sync in make install does this already.
