Description
Hi there, I think it would be good to have a warning if `ENV["PYTHON"]` does not point to a python binary. I was setting it to the location of the virtual environment, without the `bin/python` appended to the end. This caused `PyCall` to build for the `Conda.jl` setup, without reporting why the virtual environment I wanted to use wasn't being picked up. It took me more time than I'm comfortable admitting to realize the problem 😬 .
This sounds pretty simple to fix. If it's agreeable, I'd be happy to write a small PR to add a warning when `ENV["PYTHON"]` (or `ENV["PYCALL_JL_RUNTIME_PYTHON"]`) do not point to a valid binary.
