Getting Started Python example doesn't work on Windows

Bug description

Introduction

After installing quarto on Windows 11, I couldn't get the example working from this url.

How to reproduce the issue

1. Install Quarto version 1.2.313
2. Create the example document and name it test.qmd

---
title: "Quarto Basics"
format:
  html:
    code-fold: true
jupyter: python3
---

For a demonstration of a line plot on a polar axis, see @fig-polar.

```{python}
#| label: fig-polar
#| fig-cap: "A line plot on a polar axis"

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

r = np.arange(0, 2, 0.01)
theta = 2 * np.pi * r
fig, ax = plt.subplots(
  subplot_kw = {'projection': 'polar'} 
)
ax.plot(theta, r)
ax.set_rticks([0.5, 1, 1.5, 2])
ax.grid(True)
plt.show()

3. Go to the directory where the document is and install the packages into a separate venv (in Powershell):

cd /directory/with/test/qmd/file
python -m venv "venv"
./venv/Scripts/Activate.ps1
python -m pip install jupyter matplotlib plotly

4. Run the following command with the activated venv:

quarto render test.qmd --to html

What does happen

The command freezes and doesn't do anything. I doesn't write anything on the output. I noticed that it creates a correct test.ipynb file, but doesn't manage to execute it (the file doesn't have output cells).

Btw I also tried to run quarto check jupyter and it outputs the following:

It freezeson Checking Jupyter engine render....

What should happen

It should render the html into test.html.

Duplicate of #4122 (it's a bug on jupyter_client). We have a workaround in place for 1.3 prerelease and are working on a 1.2 backport.
