Some rule sets for Bazel support vendoring of the Python interpreter itself:
https://github.com/dropbox/dbx_build_tools
https://github.com/dillon-giacoppo/rules_python_external

The motivation for doing so is to have more deterministic builds and a smaller diff between dev and prod environments. Are there any plans to support this in Pants?

+1 to this request. Doing this would enable us (Slack mobile developer experience) to get out of the business of managing docker (which is heavy and has performance implications) in our CI environment just to make sure that the correct version of python is there.

Add the ability for Pants to provide Python via a union (with a pyenv…
7398971 
… impl) (#18352)

Fixes #10447

Adding the ability for an optional union (`PythonProvider`) implementer
to return a `PythonExecutable` (newly outfitted with
`append_only_caches`) so that Python for user code can be supplied
completely by rule-code. Additionally added a `pyenv` union
implementation.

The dirty details are:
- Python is essentially NOT relocatable (hats off to IndyGreg). Python
itself, as well as ecosystem tools, are baked with assumptions about
absolute paths.
- Python installation is not atomic. That means we do our work behind a
lock. We run the bash script on every session, but it should be fast as
it only does the work if the target python doesnt exist.
