How to Reproduce hatch new "MyProject"

Additional Notes:

Results of pip freeze show that I was using hatchling==1.26.1 . When I forced pip install hatchling==1.25.0, and tried repro-ing, project creation succeeded. After going back to 1.26.1, behavior does not repro. seems like a missing initialization in 1.26.X?

[ofek]

The version 1.26.0 was broken in relation to Hatch so it was yanked, sorry for the temporary error! I'm not sure why it happened in your exact case, perhaps cached .pyc files.

[Clockwork-Muse]

I'm hitting this in a brand-new devcontainer (so brand-new filesystem), getting hatchling version 1.26.1

[jngbng]

It seems hatchling 1.26.1 still has the problem. 1.25.0 works well.
