name	Set Up Python 3.10 Environment
description	Use when you need to switch from an incompatible Python version to Python 3.10 before project setup. This ensures the correct runtime environment for dependency installation and test execution.

1. Install Python 3.10 using uv:

   uv python install 3.10
   

2. Verify installation:

   uv python list
   

3. Create a virtual environment with Python 3.10:

   uv venv /root/.venv310 --python 3.10
   

4. Activate the Python 3.10 environment:

   source /root/.venv310/bin/activate
   

5. Verify the active Python version:

   python --version
   python -VV
   

6. Document the environment info:

   python -VV > /root/python_info.txt
   python -m pip freeze >> /root/python_info.txt
   

All subsequent commands must be executed within the activated Python 3.10 environment.
