3.8. You can override that. Check https://nixpacks.com/docs/providers/python.

Alr ty hey so i added this NIXPACKS_PYTHON_VERSION = 3.9 to my env file and pushed it to github and all but it still failed deploying on railway saying this

You do that on Railway UI, not in your code.

Your solution will technically work as well, if you do it right. Better follow that doc (and revert back that change in your code).
