Can you share the logs form Output >Python Environments?

[eleanorjboyd]

Hi! Hopefully you got things solved and thats why you closed the issue, if not:

it seems your project is pointed at the .venv directory itself. The extension looks for environments within a project, so if the project IS the venv, the lookup paths would be wrong. Additionally, with 0 environments found, PET may not be finding the system Python either — which could be a PATH issue or Python installed in a non-standard location. If you could check these items too that would be great

@eleanorjboyd Thanks for helping my issue has already been resolved
