Python version errors when running dbt-autofix as a pre-commit hook

[Macaw-DJP]

When running dbt-autofix as a pre-commit hook errors are thrown

stderr:
    ERROR: Package 'dbt-autofix' requires a different Python: 3.14.2 not in '<3.14,>=3.10'

As a temporary fix, the version of Python can be specified as follows

- repo: https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-autofix
  rev: v0.18.6
  hooks:
      - id: dbt-autofix-fix
        language_version: python3.13

Hi there! Autofix isn't compatible with Python 3.14 because dbt Core does not currently support 3.14. What environment and dbt version are you trying to use autofix with?

This is more a peculiarity I am experiencing with a MacBook and pre-commit than an auto-fix problem.

• DBT Core 1.11.3.
• Python 3.11.6 (returned when running python --version)

When I run uv python list, I can see Python 3.14.3 installed as well as 3.13.12. I don't want to use Python 3.14 yet, due to various dependency issues, but I have not found a way to get the pre-commit hook to use dbt-autofix without forcing the Python version.

I posted the issue, and a solution for information, should someone else experience the same problem.
