OS: Linux Kubuntu 22.04

Whenever I try to run any Python script from inside Cursor IDE I get an error like:

$ python graph1.py

As you see, Cursor overrides python env vars to its own. But it makes python not working.

It turns out I was working with an outdated version 0.45 of Cursor IDE. Surprisingly, it didn’t notify me about the availability of a newer version. I accidentally discovered version 0.46. After updating, I noticed that the issue with Python has been resolved.
