413 python fix

[egillax]

Hi @jreps ,

This is a fix for a python issue which was causing tests to fail. After this fix tests on windows and ubuntu should pass, while tests on macOS are still failing because of the vroom issue that's affecting many.

I've now set as a default python version 3.11 when creating a new conda environment using the configurePython function.
