Is there an environment variable or a setting for defaul.yml I can set for python.version = python3 so that it is added to the server.conf?

docker run -dt --restart=always --name=splunk--hostname=splunk --privileged -p 8000:8000 -p 8001:8001 \
    -v /home/user/mysplunkinstallation/default.yml:/tmp/defaults/default.yml \
    -e SPLUNK_START_ARGS=--accept-license \
    -e SPLUNK_PASSWORD=splunk\
     splunk/splunk:8.0.2

Did you find a solution to this? I'm looking to do the same and avoid opening up a terminal in the container to manually change the python version.
