tox running wrong Python version

Here is my tox.ini file:

dino@DINO:~/code/mplfinance$ cat tox.ini

[tox]
envlist = py36, py37, py38

[pytest]
python_files = tests.py

[testenv]
deps =
    matplotlib
    numpy
    pandas
    pytest
setenv =
    # don't use interactive backend for matplotlib in e2e tests
    MPLBACKEND = agg
commands =
    pytest

When I run tox<Enter> it kicks off pytest for each of the three environments specified. When pytest first starts (for each environment) it reports the versions of Python and a few other things that it is using. For example, for py36 I see:

py36 runtests: PYTHONHASHSEED='893013612'
py36 runtests: commands[0] | pytest
============= test session starts ==============
platform linux -- Python 3.6.7, pytest-5.4.1, py-1.8.1, pluggy-0.13.1
rootdir: /home/dino/code/mplfinance, inifile: tox.ini
collected 2 items

tests.py ..                               [100%]

=========== 2 passed in 13.48s     ==============

It says py36 runtests: ... and then it says platform linux -- Python 3.6.7, ... so all is good.

Similarly, I see

py37 runtests: PYTHONHASHSEED='893013612'
py37 runtests: commands[0] | pytest
======================== test session starts ==================
platform linux -- Python 3.7.4, ...

All good again.

The problem is, when it comes to py38 I see:

py38 runtests: PYTHONHASHSEED='893013612'
py38 runtests: commands[0] | pytest
============ test session starts ==================
platform linux -- Python 3.6.7, pytest-5.4.1, py-1.8.1, pluggy-0.13.1
rootdir: /home/dino/code/mplfinance, inifile: tox.ini
collected 2 items

tests.py ..                                               [100%]

============== 2 passed in 16.19s ====================

Why am I seeing Python 3.6.7 for py38 ??? Am I doing something wrong here?

Many thanks, in advance, for your help!
