## Summary
`PythonPlatform` only exists to format paths to directories within
virtual environments based on a root and an OS, so it's now
`VirtualenvLayout`.
`Virtualenv` is now used for non-virtual environment Pythons, so it's
now `PythonEnvironment`.
## Summary
Now that we have the ability to introspect the installed packages for
arbitrary Pythons, we can allow `pip freeze` and `pip list` to fall back
to the "default" Python, if no virtualenv is present.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/2005.
## Summary
This PR aligns the `uv pip install --python` flag with the `uv venv
--python` flag, such that the former now accepts binary names and Python
versions by way of using the same `find_requested_python` method under
the hood.
## Summary
This PR adds a `--python` flag that allows users to provide a specific
Python interpreter into which `uv` should install packages. This would
replace the `VIRTUAL_ENV=` workaround that folks have been using to
install into arbitrary, system environments, while _also_ actually being
correct for installing into non-virtual environments, where the bin and
site-packages paths can differ.
The approach taken here is to use `sysconfig.get_paths()` to get the
correct paths from the interpreter, and then use those for determining
the `bin` and `site-packages` directories, rather than constructing them
based on hard-coded expectations for each platform.

## Test Plan
- Verified that, on my Windows machine, I was able to install `requests`
into a global environment with: `cargo run pip install requests --python
'C:\\Users\\crmarsh\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python3.12\\python.exe`,
then `python` and `import requests`.
- Verified that, on macOS, I was able to install `requests` into a
global environment installed via Homebrew with: `cargo run pip install
requests --python $(which python3.8)`.
Address a few pedantic lints
lints are separated into separate commits so they can be reviewed
individually.
I've not added enforcement for any of these lints, but that could be
added if desirable.
Read the key read for uv from `pyenv.cfg` from `gourgeist` instead of
`uv`. I missed that we're also reading pyenv.cfg when reviewing #1852.
We could check for gourgeist for backwards compatibility, but i think
it's fine this way.

## Summary
On Windows `10.0.19045` the `py` command prints to `stderr` even when
working correctly. This means that uv should not treat this as a
failure.

## Test Plan
I ran the modified code and it worked. I expect the pull request to run
automated tests.
## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1693
`uv` currently fails when a user has `python` 2 or older installed on
their system without a `python3` or `python3.exe` on their path because
the `get_interpreter_info.py` script fails executing (it uses some
Python 3+ APIs).
This PR fixes this by:
* Returning an explicit error code in `get_interpreter_info` if the
Python version isn't supported
* Skipping over this error in `python_query` if the user requested ANY
python version or a version >= 3.
* Error if the user requested a Python 2 version.
## Test Plan
Error if the user requests a legacy python version.
```
uv venv -p 2
× Python 2 or older is not supported. Please use Python 3 or newer.
```
Ignore any python 2 installation when querying newer python
installations (using v4 here because I have python3 on the path and that
takes precedence over querying python)

(This PR message is mostly copied from the comment in the code.)
For local builds of Python, at time of writing, the version numbers end
with
a `+`. This makes the version non-PEP-440 compatible since a `+`
indicates
the start of a local segment which must be non-empty. Thus, `uv` chokes
on it
and [spits out an error][1] when trying to create a venv using a "local"
build
of Python. Arguably, the right fix for this is for [CPython to use a
PEP-440
compatible version number][2].
However, as a work-around for now, [as suggested by pradyunsg][3] as one
possible direction forward, we strip the `+`.
This fix does unfortunately mean that one [cannot specify a Python
version
constraint that specifically selects a local version][4]. But at the
time of
writing, it seems reasonable to block such functionality on this being
fixed
upstream (in some way).
Another alternative would be to treat such invalid versions as strings
(which
is what PEP-508 suggests), but this leads to undesirable behavior in
this
case. For example, let's say you have a Python constraint of `>=3.9.1`
and
a local build of Python with a version `3.11.1+`. Using string
comparisons
would mean the constraint wouldn't be satisfied:
>>> "3.9.1" < "3.11.1+"
False
So in the end, we just strip the trailing `+`, as was done in the days
of old
for [legacy version numbers][5].
I tested this fix by manually confirming that
uv venv --python local/python
failed before it and succeeded after it.

First, replace all usages in files in-place. I used my editor for this.
If someone wants to add a one-liner that'd be fun.
Then, update directory and file names:
```
# Run twice for nested directories
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
find . -type d -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
# Update files
find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rename s/puffin/uv/g
```
Then add all the files again
```
# Add all the files again
git add crates
git add python/uv
# This one needs a force-add
git add -f crates/uv-trampoline
```
