Description
When "Python Executable" set to python2 and python3 project is loaded:
When set to python3 and py2 project:
Autodetection or manual switch in the statusbar could drastically improve usability.
Also, maybe comma separated list of executables could solve a problem, smth like `/path/to/envs/{$project_root}/bin/python, python3`
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing “Python Executable” setting and the status bar entry point. Clarify whether the accepted result is automatic project-based detection, manual switching, or comma-separated fallbacks, then define how Python 2 and Python 3 projects should select an executable and how that behavior can be verified.
