[FabrizioCafolla]

Hi, I opened a pull request for adding UV to Python feature

Opened #1327 for the test failure which seems to be triggered by some update upstream.

Scenario tests are failing now:

The test failure seems to be caused by attempting to install uv using python 3.6. python 3.6 is deprecated and should be updated for 3.9.

[FabrizioCafolla]

@karthiknadig Ok, how can we solve this? can't find the test where Python 3.6 is used

[karthiknadig]

@FabrizioCafolla i think all we need to do is only install it when version of Python is greater than 3.9.

@chrmarti can you provide any guidance for this?

[chrmarti]

Maybe add a version check for Python when the util is uv here:

features/src/python/install.sh

Line 871 in 6654579

if ! type ${util} > /dev/null 2>&1; then

There already is a version check a few lines below that.

/cc @gauravsaini04 for insights.

[FabrizioCafolla]

@chrmarti I added a check in the code where you indicated.

[FabrizioCafolla]

@chrmarti @karthiknadig any news about this pr?

[chrmarti]

Apologies for the delay. It looks like the tests fail because they need the same version check as the install script.
