Wildcard version constraint not functioning as expected

• Poetry version: 1.6.1
• Python version:3.11.3
• OS version and name: macOS 12.6.8
• pyproject.toml: pyproject.toml

• I am on the latest stable Poetry version, installed using a recommended method.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• I have consulted the FAQ and blog for any relevant entries or release notes.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option) and have included the output below.

Issue

I'm just getting started with poetry, but I think I'm misunderstanding how the wildcard version constraints are implemented.

I'm specifying a python version as python = "3.8.*" in the toml file, before I start using poetry to add packages
such as poetry add psychopy, but get the following error

The current project's Python requirement (==3.8.*) is not compatible with some of the required packages Python requirement:
  - psychopy requires Python <3.11,>=3.8, so it will not be satisfied for Python >=3.8.dev0,<3.8

I was able to solve this by using python = "~3.8" or python = ">=3.8, <3.9" explicitly, but according to the wildcard documentation (linked above), 3.8.* and ~3.8 should have been equivalent

Start with the linked pyproject.toml and the wildcard requirements documentation, then reproduce the issue using Poetry 1.6.1, Python 3.11.3, and poetry add psychopy. Compare how 3.8.* is interpreted with ~3.8 and >=3.8, <3.9; done means the wildcard constraint behaves as documented and the reproduction no longer reports the incompatible range.
