Description

Python Extension: Does call Python Environment Extension API, works except for testing architecture
Debugger Extension: Checks

**Category A: Calls the Python Environments Extension API directly based on `python.useEnviornmentsExtension` value**
- Python Extension (except for the testing architecture which needs to be fixed)
- Python Debugger Extension (only in pre-release right now)

**Category B: Still only calls the Python Extension API and thus not compatible with the Envs Ext**
- Jupyter Notebooks

**TODO:**
- determine category for the following:
- Pylance ?
- Python Tools extensions?
