Description
hi,
following this issue: #1040 I want to request this feature that even though it was a side effect, it was very useful.
Basically whenever I launch a task located in a project (.vscode/tasks.json) i want the default python environment of that project to be activated by default. this should happen whatever shell activation I have selected.
Many thanks
regards
