[Python] How to configure python virtual environment with different python version?

I am trying to set virtual environment with a different python version.

The default global version is Python 3.11.0

I have installed virtualenv using pip install virtualenv

Command to create virtualenv with different python version is virtualenv -p "C:/Python310/python.exe" .venv

Error when I run the above command is

RuntimeError: failed to query C:\Python310\python.exe with code 1 err:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python311\Lib\site-packages\virtualenv\discovery\py_info.py", line 8, in <module>

assert _sre.MAGIC == MAGIC, "SRE module mismatch"
AssertionError: SRE module mismatch


Not sure what I am missing here. Any guidance is appreciated.
