Set default python version

[kjy5]

How do I define which version of Python Hatch should always default to when creating a random environment?

If I want to run a one-off Python script, where I don't have a full project.toml setup going on, I often use hatch shell to open an environment and run it. However hatch shell usually defaults to Python 3.11, but I'd like to use 3.12 by default. How do I configure this?

Thank you!

Setting the HATCH_PYTHON environment variable to the path to the desired Python executable is the solution to this.
