### Bug description

What am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get quarto to recognize the python path without reinstalling python?

OS: Windows 10
Quarto: 1.3.7
Python 3.8.6
RStudio 2022.07.2+576 "Spotted Wakerobin" Release (e7373ef832b49b2a9b88162cfe7eac5f22c40b34, 2022-09-06) for Windows

Running quarto check gives the following:
```
