Issue description

When I run pipenv shell it says Pipfile requires python_version 3.9, I'm doing it in a empty folder, I don't have a Pipfile. I have no idea what "C:\Users\G.\G\S\python.exe)" is. I only have python 3.8 installed and it is in the PATH.

Expected result

Expect no issue

Actual result

Below is result when I run "pipenv shell"

  $ pipenv --rm and rebuilding the virtual environment may resolve the issue.

Can you try the prototype branch that tries converts pythonfinder away from pydantic and onto vanilla dataclasses. Would be a good check against those changes: https://github.com/pypa/pipenv/pull/6065
