uv python install '>=3.11' selects pre-release version

[zanieb]

I have a similar issue with the usage of the following type of command:

uv python install '>=3.11'

With the latest pre-release Python version 3.13.0rc2 being available, if no other version is installed, uv will install 3.13.0rc2.

Would it not be better if uv installed the latest stable version (3.12.6) in that scenario?

As explained in PEP440, section Handling of pre-release,
"Pre-releases of any kind, including developmental releases, are implicitly excluded from all version specifiers, unless they are already present on the system, explicitly requested by the user, or if the only available version that satisfies the version specifier is a pre-release."

Also, I am new to creating issues or requests, so let me know if I am doing something wrong.
