Have you had issues with using python? I think for development (that's where precommits are used) people should have dedicated, preferably isolated virtual environments. Given that I'm not sure if using python3 is required. I would even consider this as misleading guidance that it's ok to run precommits just on system python

@sfc-gh-turbaszek It looks like snowflake-connector-python only supports 3.9+ anyway, so if development is only expected to occur in virtual environments, what's the harm in switching to python3?

While I agree that development should generally occur in a virtual environment,

1. The README doesn't mention anything about creating a virtual environment
2. It's possible to use a virtual environment for development without activating it in your shell
