Pull Request Overview

This PR improves the documentation for the pythonLocation environment variable by adding detailed information about how different Python implementations (CPython, PyPy, GraalPy) organize their directory structures and where the Python executable is located within each implementation.

Key Changes:

Enhanced the pythonLocation environment variable description with implementation-specific executable paths
Added platform-specific path examples for Linux/macOS and Windows
Clarified directory structure differences between Python implementations
