Pants

Is there a way to know which version of Python `pants` is running &amp; using for it's internal rules?
I just noticed if I run `pants` from within/without some virtual env I have, it'll toggle between 2.7 (system-default) or 3.8 (virtual environment version)

For reference, we currently assume CPython 3.8 for everything we write.
I have this set:
`interpreter_constraints = ["CPython==3.8.*"]`
and the system has `/usr/bin/python -&gt; python2.7`, and `/usr/bin/python3.8`

the `pants` script requires &gt;3.6, so it shouldn’t be running with 2.7 … some internal bits might be subprocessed that way though

the `pants` script is pretty transparent, but also pretty verbose. it will likely be simplified by shipping a PEX in the next few weeks as part of <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/12397>

Seems like I'm evaluating when y'all are on the cusp of several very beneficial changes :joy:
