I need to use python 3.8 for my Django app as it's still on Django 2. But when I try and build using Railpack (the default) it says I need to use > 3.9. Is the best way round this to use something other than Railpack? I can't afford to upgrade Django at this time.

you can swap to using a docker file vs railpack. itll allow you to pin down py3.8

Hi,
You can set the RAILPACK_PYTHON_VERSION variable to 3.8.

This results in:-
mise pipx:pipenv@2025.0.4 pipx install pipenv==2025.0.4
Python 3.9 or later is required. See https://github.com/pypa/pipx for installation instructions.

I've never used docker and it seems a bit of an overkill to use something which I assume has a pretty steep learning curve when all I want to do is build something with a different version of python.
