Opened #1327 for the test failure which seems to be triggered by some update upstream.

Scenario tests are failing now:

[karthiknadig]

The test failure seems to be caused by attempting to install uv using python 3.6. python 3.6 is deprecated and should be updated for 3.9.

[FabrizioCafolla]

@karthiknadig Ok, how can we solve this? can't find the test where Python 3.6 is used

[karthiknadig]

@FabrizioCafolla i think all we need to do is only install it when version of Python is greater than 3.9.

@chrmarti can you provide any guidance for this?
