As you described, `$PULUMI_PYTHON_CMD` works.

Also Might I consider suggesting looking into pipenv to see if it also helps with any of your other needs which may arise due to various python/virtualenv versions?  We use it for our pulumi python projects, since it’s pretty straightforward to `pipenv shell` and start using pulumi inside the venv scope thereafter.
