I'm also facing this issue. It's caused by #2993.

I'm unsure about python.compile behaviour, but it seems it's not checking whether the precompiled binary is available.

[undefined] - use precompiled binary if one is available for the current platform, compile otherwise.

by setting MISE_PYTHON_COMPILE=false, now mise download precompiled binary

Thanks! I actually knew that setting but I think prebuilt binaries should be used by default.
