poetry cannot find distutils module

[Giuliopime]

The issue occurs when running poetry self add poetry-plugin-upwhich throws the following error:

No module named 'distutils'

I'm using python version 3.10.9 installed via pyenv, running poetry env inforesults in:

Python:         3.10.9
Implementation: CPython
Path:           /Users/j/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/account-3TXw94AP-py3.10
Executable:     /Users/j/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/account-3TXw94AP-py3.10/bin/python
Valid:          True

And distutils is located at /Users/j/.pyenv/versions/3.10.9/lib/python3.10/distutils yet poetry can't seem to find it?

Am I missing something? Looked everywhere online or in the repo issues but can't find the fix (I'm on mac)

using pipx inject poetry poetry-plugin-up instead worked, still would like to understand why the other method didn't

[dimbleby]

poetry env info tells you about your project's environment, it has nothing to do with the environment in which poetry itself is installed

How do I specify that? Reading through the docs it seemed that way
