Description
When configuring with -DPython_EXECUTABLE using python 3.11, the installation picks up the version number correctly
-- Found PythonInterp: $PREFIX/bin/python3 (found suitable version "3.11.15", minimum required is "3.8")
-- Found PythonLibs: $PREFIX/lib/libpython3.11.so
-- Performing Test HAS_FLTO_AUTO
-- Performing Test HAS_FLTO_AUTO - Success
-- Found pybind11: $PREFIX/include (found version "3.0.2")
-- pybind11 installation found
-- Could NOT find Python3 (missing: Python3_INCLUDE_DIRS Python3_LIBRARIES Development Development.Module Development.Embed) (found version "3.12.13")
-- Found Python: $PREFIX/bin/python (found version "3.11.15") found components: Interpreter Development Development.Module Development.Embed
However, later in the installation the extension module is installed for python 3.12
+ cmake --install _build
-- Install configuration: "Release"
-- Installing: $PREFIX/lib/python3.12/site-packages/parallelzone.so

Research direction
Start by reproducing the configuration with -DPython_EXECUTABLE using Python 3.11, then run cmake --install _build and compare the detected Python versions with the destination path. Trace the installation configuration that produces $PREFIX/lib/python3.12/site-packages/parallelzone.so; done means the extension is installed under the selected Python 3.11 site-packages directory.
