PyCall fails to precompile on Julia 1.11 with "permission denied"

After adding PyCall to my Julia 1.11 installation on Windows 10, I can build it but it fails to precompile when using it. This has never been a problem for me on Julia 1.10 and older. I am specifying the Python to be used via the PYTHON environment variable. I don't understand why the procedure is trying to access the adminAccount. Here is the resulting output:

~: ENV["PYTHON"]
"C:\\Users\\myAccount\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python313\\python.exe"

(@v1.11) pkg> build PyCall

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

In the PYTHON environment variable the results are the same whether I include the "\\python.exe"

Thanks for your consideration!

Reproduce the failure on Windows 10 with Julia 1.11, PyCall, and the reported PYTHON value, then inspect src/PyCall.jl and the referenced Conda and PyCall build logs. Determine why precompilation accesses the adminAccount path and verify that using the configured Python completes precompilation without the permission error.
