### Bug description

I've been playing on the **RStudio Cloud** with the **matplotlib demo** from the Quarto documentation on **Using Python** - <https://quarto.org/docs/computations/python.html>. I followed the instructions and I installed **jupyter** and **matplotlib**, python 3.8 and numpy are already installed. I rendered the matplotlib demo qmd successfully, however when I tried running the python chunk inside the qmd, I was prompted to update **jsonlite** and **reticulate**, then I got the errors: 

- `there is no package called 'reticulate'`,
- `No non-system installation of Python could be found. Would you like to download and install Miniconda?`

I said `yes` to installing **miniconda**, but then I got the error message `Error creating conda environment 'r-reticulate' [exit code 137]`.  Despite this error, a new python environment must have been created because I was able to run a python chunk with basic math computations with `import math`, but I still could not run the chunk based on **matplotlib** since now a different python environment was being used rather than the jupyter python kernel where I had installed **matplotlib**. 

Finally, I tried to render the qmd file again, but now the rendering failed with the error message:

```
Starting Jupyter kernel.../home/r157428/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jupyter_client/__init__.py:23: UserWarning: Could not import submodules
  warnings.warn("Could not import submodules")

ImportError: cannot import name 'KernelManager' from 'jupyter_client' (/home/r157428/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/jupyter_client/__init__.py)
```

The initial `quarto check` was okay, but the final `quarto check` was not okay since the initial python environment was replaced by the freshly created conda environment without jupyter. 

> One quick solution to this issue with the python environments is to select the system python in Tools > Global Options > Python. That way one forces RStudio to use the system python to render the qmd file as well as run the python chunks inside the qmd file. If that was the original design plan then it should really be spelled out in the Quarto documentation. It's also very important to emphasize the role the **reticulate** R package is playing when running chunks of python code inside the Quarto document. 

However, I came across another issue when running two consecutive python code chunks inside the qmd notebook. I added at the end of the **matplotlib demo** qmd from the Quarto documentation, the following python chunk:

````md

```{python}
x = np.linspace(-2,2,41)
y = np.exp(-x**2) * np.cos(2*np.pi*x)
plt.plot(x,y,alpha=0.4,label='Decaying Cosine',
         color='red',linestyle='dashed',linewidth=2,
         marker='o',markersize=5,markerfacecolor='blue',
         markeredgecolor='blue')
plt.ylim([-2,2])
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```
````
 
The output of this python chunk was the following plot:

Here, the plot from the last python chunk, given above, was plotted on the top of the polar plot created by the previous python chunk. There is no issue when I render the entire qmd notebook. 

Below is the complete qmd file I was playing with:

````
---
title: "matplotlib demo"
format:
  html:
    code-fold: true
jupyter: python3

For a demonstration of a line plot on a polar axis, see @fig-polar.

```{python}
#| label: fig-polar
#| fig-cap: "A line plot on a polar axis"

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()
```

```{python}
x = np.linspace(-2,2,41)
y = np.exp(-x**2) * np.cos(2*np.pi*x)
plt.plot(x,y,alpha=0.4,label='Decaying Cosine',
         color='red',linestyle='dashed',linewidth=2,
         marker='o',markersize=5,markerfacecolor='blue',
         markeredgecolor='blue')
plt.ylim([-2,2])
plt.legend()
plt.show()
```
