Description

@hwine

While attempting to install the aarch64 version of python, I received the following suggestions -- the first suggestion (uv python help) is both:

  • a syntax error (as the second invocation shows)
  • a reference error (there is no such documentation on the target syntax there)

Shell session:

❯ uv python install 3.13.1-windows-aarch64-none
error: `3.13.1-windows-aarch64-none` is not a valid Python download request; see `uv python help` for supported formats and `uv python list --only-downloads` for available versions

~
2 ❯ uv python help
error: unrecognized subcommand 'help'

Usage: uv.exe python [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

For more information, try '--help'.

~
2 ❯ uv --version
uv 0.5.8 (80d41671b 2024-12-11)

This is on a Windows 11 arm64 machine (MS Surface X).
