Can I have multiple plugins running different python versions? My host machine has the most recent python version. But this extractor i'm using doesn't so i won't run. But i can see venv in meltano dependency folder for this package. So is it possible to only condigure the python version for that specific plugin?

Unfortunately this is not currently supported. Right now all plugins must either run using the same Python version as Meltano, or must be invoked as a container using the
container_spec
feature. We have a feature request to support per-plugin Python version overrides: https://github.com/meltano/meltano/issues/3333 I anticipate we will implement this feature within the next 4 months, but I cannot provide any guarantees. All I can say is that it's a high priority of mine.

That said, you can use
meltano install --force
to ignore the Python version restrictions imposed by the plugins.
