Command select python interpreter doesn't list all of the installed python interpreters on system, including those on virtual environment about vscode-python

I don't know if this could help, but:

I can confirm this issue.

Reason for this problem seems to be that the plug-in is looking for a python interpreter with the exact name "python", i.e. python3 is not found. If I create a symbolic link to "python3" with the name "python" (let's say ~/bin/python where ~/bin is in my $PATH) the interpreter can be selected again.

[DonJayamanne]

@tangorboyz Currently the extension lists Python interpreters located in the current PATH.
E.g. Python3 would be listed only if it is in the current path.

As for virtual environments, currently we only search for Virtual environments in the following locations:

• ~/Envs, ~/.virtualenvs, ~/.pyenv, ~/.pyenv/versions

exact name "python", i.e. python3 is not found

@theHamsta, This is not true, the extension looks for python and python<number>.
python3 will be detected, provided it is in your current PATH.
Please could you confirm that python3 is in your current path (prior to creating the symbolic link).

Finally, you can augment the search path by editing the following setting in your settings.json file to point to the virtual environment directory containing the python interpreter:

"python.venvPath": "Path to the virtual env"

[tangorboyz]

All my pythons are in my PATH. I could invoke each of them from terminal. E.g: for python 2.7.12, i call it with python, and for python 3.5, with python3, and python 3.6 with python3.6. The previous version of python extension could list all of of them. I don't know why the current version couldn't.
If a check with which:

• which python: /usr/bin/python
• which python3: /usr/bin/python3
• which python3.6: /usr/bin/python3.6

[DonJayamanne]

@tangorboyz thats interesting. It python3 work at my end on ubuntu.
Could you try the following:

• Quit vscode (ensure all instances are closed, please check if running in the background)
• Start vscode
• Test once again

[tangorboyz]

no luck.

[DonJayamanne]

Please could you try this in the standard version of VS Code (instead of the insiders build).
Thanks

[bgse]

Can confirm the issue @tangorboyz has, same on my end.

Version 1.18.0
Commit dcee2202709a4f223185514b9275aa4229841aa7
Date 2017-11-08T12:44:48.751Z

Renderer 58.0.3029.110
Node 7.9.0

Maybe related, this pops up roughly 1-2 seconds after selecting the command and showing the selection dialog:

[tangorboyz]

I have tried it on standard version (1.18.0), the result same as insider.

[DonJayamanne]

@bgse the error you are seeing is related to ctags (you could either install ctags to get rid of this or disable workspace symbols).

@bgse what's your OS and Python version?

[DonJayamanne]

@tangorboyz looks like I'm missing something fairly obvious here as this issue has been reported by two others now.

[tangorboyz]

Looks, like it's a regression. I've tried to install the previous version (0.7.0), from the old repository. And It could list all python version installed on my computer:

[DonJayamanne]

@tangorboyz please could you confirm there are no errors logged in the console window.
Please go into the menu Help->Toggle Developer Tools.
Something must be in there.

[DonJayamanne]

@tangorboyz never mind, i've identified the bug. Thanks for the info
