One of the best practices for managing Python versions across operating systems is the shebang '#!/usr/bin/env python3'. To get around the lack of support for this practice, it seems that the user has to add changes to each individual workspace to set Python versions. Note that setting the 'Python: Select interpreter' is also ignored by VSCode.

It would be helpful if maintainers were transparent about whether they have interest or will accept a PR from someone else contributing a fix. This issue was closed in the upstream repo multiple times and not left as open.

Actual behavior

shebang is ignored

Expected behavior

shabang is respected

Steps to reproduce:

Create file:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys
print(sys.executable)

Run it.
