Q18: When building &amp; running pants from sources, how do I override the system Python with a pyenv-provided one?

Searching the pants source codes, I figured out that `build-support/common.sh` allows overriding Python executable to use by setting `PY` environment variable.

I think the docs should have explicit mention on this if I've not missed

Thanks for that suggestion and update! By the way, feel free to use the Suggest Edits button in the docs to propose changes directly. The most user-friendly phrasing usually comes from users like you. Also, you're welcome to apply the :done:  emoji to resolved threads if you'd like.

I've never used this, but I think this might also do it:

Personally, I tend to just use the PY= whenever I need to, because it's relatively rare
