```
### To Reproduce
1. Have a non-asdf python installation:
```
$ /netops/local/python-3.9.2/bin/python3.9 -V
Python 3.9.2
```
1. Configure asdf to use it, [with `path:` syntax][doc]:
```
$ asdf set python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2
$ cat .tool-versions
python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2
$ asdf current python
Name Version Source Installed
python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2 /usr/lusers/jacktose/code/l2/.tool-versions true
```
1. Check which `python` is used:
```
$ asdf which python
No python executable found for python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2
$ python -V
No executable python found for current version. Please select a different version or install python manually for the current version
```
1. Compare to `python3`:
```
$ asdf which python3
/netops/local/python-3.9.2/bin/python3
$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.2
```
1. Try `path:` with asdf-installed fallback version:
```
$ asdf set python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2 3.9.15
$ asdf current python
Name Version Source Installed
python path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2 3.9.15 /usr/lusers/jacktose/code/l2/.tool-versions true
$ asdf which python
/usr/lusers/jacktose/.asdf/installs/python/3.9.15/bin/python
$ python -V
Python 3.9.15
$ asdf which python3
/usr/lusers/jacktose/.asdf/installs/python/3.9.15/bin/python3
$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.15
```
Note that shims are fine:
```
$ which python
~/.asdf/shims/python
$ which python3
~/.asdf/shims/python3
```
And both shims work as expected for asdf-installed python:
```
$ asdf set python 3.9.15
$ asdf current python
Name Version Source Installed
python 3.9.15 /usr/lusers/jacktose/code/l2/.tool-versions true
$ asdf which python
/usr/lusers/jacktose/.asdf/installs/python/3.9.15/bin/python
$ python -V
Python 3.9.15
$ asdf which python3
/usr/lusers/jacktose/.asdf/installs/python/3.9.15/bin/python3
$ python3 -V
Python 3.9.15
```
### Describe the Bug
[`path:` version][doc] is ignored, unless it is the only version listed and you use the `python3` shim.
`asdf set python` ... | expected | `python -V` | `python3 -V`
-----------------------------------------|----------|-------------|-------------
`3.9.15` | `3.9.15` | `3.9.15` ✅ | `3.9.15` ✅
`path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2` | `3.9.2` | error ❌ | `3.9.2` ✅
`path:/netops/local/python-3.9.2 3.9.15` | `3.9.2` | `3.9.15` ❌ | `3.9.15` ❌
### Expected Behaviour
[`path:` versions][doc] (assuming there's a valid python there) should work with both `python` & `python3` shims, and follow normal precedence rules. See “expected” column above.
