What's your issue about?

there is a mismatch between pip-installed vyper and binary-installed vyper (e.g. via vvm).

How can it be fixed?

this is the case for pipx vs github release-installed 0.3.10 as well:

~ $ vyper --version  # pipx install vyper==0.3.10
0.3.10+commit.9136169

~ $ .vvm/vyper-0.3.10  --version
0.3.10+commit.91361694

[charles-cooper]

the number of nibbles in the commit hash depends on the number of commits in the repository -- apparently this is different for the github release and pypi release workflows
