How to specify python executable locations?

[Godsmith]

Hi, new Hatch user here, excellent project.

I have created a new project with hatch new and have created a dummy test case. When running hatch run test:pytest I get

Skipped 2 incompatible environments:
test.py37 -> cannot locate Python: 37
test.py38 -> cannot locate Python: 38

So evidently hatch can find my installations of python 3.9 and python 3.10, but not python 3.7. How can I specify the paths to those python executables? With tox, I can add

[testenv:py3.7]
basepython = /my/path/to/python/3.7
[testenv:py3.8]
basepython = /my/path/to/python/3.8

to tox.ini. How can I do the equivalent thing with hatch?

This should work https://ofek.dev/hatch/latest/config/environment/#python-version

@Godsmith Fixed?

Yes! I didn't realize that the python parameter accepts paths to python executables and not just python versions. Would you like me to update the description to something akin to tox' description of the same thing here: https://tox.wiki/en/3.4.0/config.html#confval-basepython=NAME-OR-PATH ? I.e. "Name or path to a Python interpreter which will be used for creating the virtual environment" or similar.

Yes please add that it can also be an absolute path
