How to read `--python-version` from file with `pip-compile` hook

[ollie-bell]

uv pip compile doesn't read pyproject.toml or .python-version to default the --python-version flag (astral-sh/uv#9581). Running uv pip compile --python-version=$(cat .python-version) is an acceptable workaround, but this doesn't work using the pip-compile pre-commit hook because pre-commit just passes the arguments as literal strings and uv pip compile can't do the variable expansion dynamically.

Are there any recommended ways to not have to hardcode --python-version here?

I see that uv pip compile detects python-version from pyproject.toml in this astral-sh/uv#11486 but specifying 0.6.6 in the .pre-commit-config does not pick it up from pyproject.toml
