No way to disable "system install of python not recommended" error dialog #4448

Description

I keep getting this nag screen telling me to upgrade to a more modern version of Python:

The macOS system install of Python is not recommended, some functionality in the extension will be limited. Install another version of Python for the best experience.

Python 2.7 is available out-of-the-box on every Mac and Debian box I touch and it meets my needs, so I'm not interested in upgrading. Unfortunately this dialog appears literally every single time I open a Python file, and I don't see any way to disable it. You can imagine how annoying this is.

How do I disable this dialog?
