Observed behavior

This prompt shows up even though I have python installed on my system.

Expected behavior

Either the automatic detection should have been so robust that the detection is always positive but I don't think that is possible given the nature different file systems and complexity.

User should atleast be able to manually specify the path of Python Installation to remove this hassle.

User-facing consequences

Like me user won't be able to install kolibri even though python is installed.

You might have installed global python 2.7 - 2.8 versions, please check your user folder or another directory there might be python 2.7 or lower versions will be available

Delete that package it will solve automatically then check the path of your python lib and if you are using vs code there is the option to select python interpreter else please restart your device It should work!

@Pursottam6003 Nope python2 isn't installed anywhere...

Here are all my python version... To be very honest what I am proposing is a solution where the user can manually specify their python path without having to do hacky stuff.

I also have this issue when I am installing Kolibri, I prefer to be able to manually specify the path of Python.
