Extension support for environment managers

Overview

The intent of the Python Environments extension is to enable developers to provide support for their favorite Python environment and package managers by shipping support via its own extension. This extension provides mechanisms for users to interact with environment managers to create, select, and install packages, etc. Your extension will depend on this extension for user interactions, and you can handle the various core features of the environment manager in your extension. This ensures a consistent experience for the user with specific support for each environment manager.

We are looking for community support to build and maintain these extensions!

APIs

This extension provides a set of APIs for developers to register their own Environment and Package managers. We are also looking for feedback on the APIs. See here for more details: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-environments?tab=readme-ov-file#api-reference-proposed

Help wanted

Environment manager

[1]: venv (built-in) will use uv if available for environment creation, package install and delete.
[2] : We have demo support for conda to show case some of the features of the extension. But we are expecting community extension for full featured support (like for example stacked envs in conda)

Package manager

[1] : We have demo support for conda to show case some of the features of the extension. But we are expecting community extension for full featured support.

从 issue 中链接的拟议 API 参考文档开始，并比较 environment-manager 和 package-manager 表。选择一个 manager，并确定通过注册 API 所期望的完整支持；完成这项工作需要一个受维护的社区扩展，但 issue 没有指明任何 repository 文件或测试。
