[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Mercurial and ansible both have python3.8 hardcoded in the
native-search-paths for their package. I can just bump it to 3.9 but we
really should change it to something like (python-version
(package-inputs this-package python))

git grep python3\\.8

As the comment says in the source, the ideal would have been to be able
to reuse the native-search-path of Python for ansible, but that
introduced a cycle.  Perhaps there's something that could be done to
avoid it?

Thanks,

Maxim
