Hatch fails to locate Python 3.10 when requires-python includes patch version

[artyom-morozov]

Description

Hatch fails to create environments for Python 3.10 when the requires-python version in pyproject.toml includes a patch number (e.g., >=3.10.16). This issue occurs specifically with Python 3.10 in CI pipelines, even though Hatch successfully installs the Python version.

Environment

• Ubuntu Runner: 24.04.2
• Affected Python Version: 3.10
• Working Python Version: 3.13

when we have the following in pyproject.toml

[project]
requires-python = ">=3.10.16"
...
[[tool.hatch.envs.hatch-test.matrix]]
python = ["3.10", "3.13"]

When we have a github action workflow like this:

...
- name: Install Hatch
  uses: pypa/hatch@install

- name: Install Hatch Python
  shell: bash
  run: |
    hatch python install 3.10 3.13

- name: Setup env
  shell: bash
  run: |
      hatch env create hatch-test.py3.10

Behaviour

Hatch successfully installs Python versions:

Installing 3.10
Installed 3.10 @ /home/runner/work/*/*/.hatch_data/pythons/3.10
Installing 3.13
Installed 3.13 @ /home/runner/work/*/*/.hatch_data/pythons/3.13

But environment creation fails with error:

Environment `hatch-test.py3.10` is incompatible: cannot locate Python: 3.10
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Notes

• Setting HATCH_PYTHON_SOURCE_PYPY3_10 environment variable does not resolve the issue
• The issue only affects Python 3.10 when patch version is specified
• Workaround: Remove patch version from requires-python (use >=3.10 instead of >=3.10.16)
