[Python] Quarto Unable to Render Python

I cannot render Quarto documents that contain Python code chunks.

I can successfully render Quarto documents that contain R code chunks.

Error message


The error message I receive is:

==> quarto preview example.Qmd --to html --no-watch-inputs --no-browse

ERROR: Unable to render example.Qmd

Reprex


It's not quite a reproducible example, but it's the best I can achieve given the error.

I am using the following CLI syntax to render an example document which lives on my Desktop:

quarto render Desktop\example.Qmd


The contents of Desktop\example.Qmd are (when I attempt python - I just switch the 'python' to 'r' when I want to render R.):

---
title: Example
subtitle: Example
format: html
---

```{python}
2 + 2
```

py -m pip install jupyter

Which was installed at C:\Users\me\appdata\roaming\python\python312\site-packages
