Question

step1, run commands uv python install 3.14 and uv python list, the result is below

cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe
cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   .local\bin\python3.14.exe
cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe

step 2, then, run commands uv python install 3.14t and uv python list, the result is below

cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   .local\bin\python3.14.exe
cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe
cpython-3.14.3+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none      AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14.3+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe
cpython-3.14.3+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none      .local\bin\python3.14t.exe
cpython-3.14.3+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none      AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe

QUESTION:
After the preceding 2 steps, below record is missing.

cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none                   AppData\Roaming\uv\python\cpython-3.14.3-windows-x86_64-none\python.exe

If navigate to directory AppData\Roaming\uv\python, we can find that the directory cpython-3.14.3+freethreaded-windows-x86_64-none is still exists.

Is this a feature or a bug?

More comments:

  1. If we reverse the commands in steps 1 and 2, we will obtain similar results.
  2. The above is only an operation performed on version 3.14, and a similar situation also exists in version 3.13.
