Thanks for the fix.

I just want to add a note about the reason for specifying 3.8.12 -- it exactly matches the Python version used in composer-2.1.14-airflow-2.5.1 which is the version we use in our current production environment ethereum-etl-prod-5. See Cloud Composer version list in GCP docs.

For now the mismatch in versions between CI/CD and production is really nothing to worry about. But depending on our productivity bandwidth we should consider upgrading to a newer version of Composer. Note: please do NOT do this by clicking the "upgrade" button in the UI (too unstable) -- we need first to check and test dependencies etc. It's not a big task but must be done with care.

Ah, got it! I didn't realize that, should have double checked with you before merging.

I won't touch the composer side for now.
