Description
* If user has `.venv` or `.conda` we probably should select them
Not done as we don't do this today in extension
* If user has local env such as `poetry`, or `pyenv` or the like we should we select those instead or recommend them instead.
E.g. look at `workspaceFolder` in the env.
Not done as we don't do this today in extension
Similarly we might have some local (project) specific envs already configured before using Python extension, should we detect those and recommend those instead
