Describe the issue:

In a Quarto document, when mixing R and Python code cells, the results are not reported in the relative consoles.

For R cells the results is reported in the relative console as expected.

For Python cells the result is reported in two different ways:

1. Clicking on the “Run Cell” the code is executed via “reticulate”, the statements are reported in the R console, but not executed, indeed the results are reported neither in the R console not in the Python console and the variables are not set.

2. Selecting the lines of code and executing manually (Ctrl + Enter) the statements are reported in the Python console and are executed correctly.

Expected or desired behavior:

Get the same result by running the Python code with the previous two ways.

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

No

Thanks for the writeup @Matteo-Valerio! We are aware of the issues with mixed R/Python Quarto documents and are already tracking that work e.g. see #1646 (comment).
