[BUG] overseerr - python is not a valid npm option

[WowSuchRicky]

What happened?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run curl command in README to install overseer
2. Receive error during 'Installing dependencies via yarn': npm ERR! python is not a valid npm option

Expected results:
Installation should succeed.

Suspiciously related: https://stackoverflow.com/a/74523071/2402061
https://github.com/brettpetch/hosted-scripts/blob/master/overseerr.sh#L50 npm doesn't seem to like setting arbitrary config values as of some recent version, which is likely breaking this.

I also do have python installed and which python doesn't seem to error out when I run it manually so I am a bit confused why that if statement is triggering; may be mis config on my part though.
