Python3.10 is not detected as >=3.3

Neovim

  1. pynvim is installed via python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pynvim (I checked import neovim)
  2. :checkhealth output:
## Python 3 provider (optional)
  - WARNING: No Python executable found that can `import neovim`. Using the first available executable for diagnostics.
  - ERROR: Python provider error:

The problem seems that Nvim cannot detect Python 3.10 as a Python >= 3.3.
Any ideas about this?

This has already been fixed on master, and will be fixed in 0.6.0 release.

Is there a straightforward way of upgrading/downgrading nvim? (instead of manual binaries download)

That’s a job for your distribution package manager.

(Just to make sure: Note that you not only need to upgrade the nvim binary but also the runtime files.)

Any news on this? I am having exactly the same problem with Neovim 0.8.2 (via chocolatey), Python 3.10 on Windows 11.

I can run python in a terminal and import neovim, but Neovim does not detect the provider.

I have configured everything as suggested in:
https://neovim.io/doc/user/provider.html
and
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65160481/neovim-on-windows-cant-find-python-provider

Do you suggest to downgrade python and test?
