For instance, the script may be calling /usr/local/bin/python (which is Python 3.11) while /usr/local/bin/pip is actually an alias to /usr/local/bin/pip3, which is tied to a Python 3.12 install.

I thought that I had done so, but again ( they seem to be slightly
different ):

$ pip --version
pip 23.0.1 from
/home/bdmc/work2/starlette-example/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip
(python 3.11)

$ python --version
Python 3.11.2


python3 is the same answer.

Python does not say where it is coming from, but both of these answers
are from within the active virtual environment.
