[Python] Unable to use parameters value from command line to Quarto file while rendering...

I am trying to pass parameter value using quarto CLI and use it in Quarto file with Python code but it's not working.

Command used:

quarto render test.qmd -P foo:5 --output test_cmd_out.html


Quarto doc (test.qmd):

---
title: "Test File"
format: html
html:
embed-resources: true
execute:
echo: False
jupyter: python3

---

# Title


Print this in report
```{python}
foo
```

---


Error:

Starting python3 kernel...Done

Executing 'test.quarto_ipynb'
Cell 1/1: ''...ERROR:

An error occurred while executing the following cell:
------------------
foo
------------------


---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)
Cell In[1], line 1
----> 1 foo

NameError: name 'foo' is not defined


Do I need to use it as params$foo even for Python or some other way?

Not sure what is wrong if I look at their documentation.
