Description

I have a project using both python and C++. The C++ compilation is managed by cmake.
I have already selected the pyton interpreter of my conda environment, but this vscode-cmake-tools do not recognize the selected environment. It would be nice to support this. Some documentation of how to setup conda environment would be great too.

This is an example project:
https://github.com/pybind/cmake_example

Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start with the cmake_example project and the existing vscode-cmake-tools environment configuration documentation, then trace how a selected Anaconda Python interpreter is exposed to CMake. Done means the supported setup is documented and, if feasible, the selected environment is recognized by the extension.
