The main point of the venv is to isolate the installed packages,
rather than Python itself. I`m a bit surprised your symlinks are
as shown above though - mine link from python to python3.11 to
/usr/bin/python3.11, so it wouldn`t change the version of python
used even if I installed a different system python version.
