[Markdown Preview] Plugin doesn't work

[Vivalzar]

None of the command provided by the plugin work. The following error happens every time we try to use one:

Init: cuda_markdown_preview

Known error, reason is old python (preinstalled version 3.8). you can install newer python from addons manager, OK?

Just installed Python 3.11.
Got another error now:

try to remove 3.11 and install 3.10, it works fine on my side

[Vivalzar]

Ok, it works now. Thank you very much.
