Feature scope

CLI (options, error messages, logging, etc.)

Description

This would inform Meltano of which version to use by default for installing plugins in a project.

project
├── .python-version
└── meltano.yml

TBD

• Precedence. The presence of .python-version (with a valid Python version) should probably NOT override a global or plugin-level python value in meltano.yml.
