Not sure if this is a quarto issue, reticulate issue, documentation issue or just plain user error. 

Your docs suggest that if (in RStudio) I make an environment with venv in my project directory, this should be picked up automatically by R when I run a python chunk. This is not the case for me; it just loads my last reticulate environment from a previous project, even though the `env` folder is in the project dir. 

To fix this, I followed the instructions [here](https://github.com/rstudio/reticulate/issues/292#:~:text=Sys.setenv(RETICULATE_PYTHON%20%3D%20%22/home/superuser/anaconda3/envs/pyres/bin/python%22)) to point my project to the version of python in my `env` folder. Like I said, I'm not 100% sure whether this is an issue with quarto, reticulate, just user error, or something that needs clarification in the docs, but in any case the process was not as straightforward as I expected from reading the docs.
