Docs: how does rsconnect choose a Python version
The documentation for rsconnect-python has information on how Connect selects a Python version, but not on how rsconnect selects a version when deploying.
I have a vague feeling that the version of Python is decided by the environment from which the command is run - i.e., the first version of Python found on the PATH when using rsconnect deploy...
The section titled Creating a Manifest for Future Deployment alludes to this, but it is no where made explicit:
It will contain the package dependencies from the current Python environment, or from an alternative Python executable specified in the --python option.

I think we (Support, end users) would benefit from making this information explicit.
