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
