Duplicate select python interpreter in status bar

[ltan10]

Vscode Version: 1.109.5

vscode python extension ms-python.python version: 2026.2.0

Problem:

vscode-python-environments version: 1.20.1
Duplicate python interpreters available in status bar, and only one of them effectively changes the interpreter.
Unsure if there are other collisions happening.

Reproduce:

Install vscode-python-environments==1.20.1

• Duplicate interpreter selector visible

Downgrade vscode-python-environments==1.16.0

• No duplicate interpretor selector

I also get two source activations when I open a terminal, the first one very quick, and the second one a bit later when I already typed stuff, messing up the input (which can be dangerous because the extension also directly executes the line afterwards). I think the second activation comes from this extension as disabling it resolved this issue. I can only assume that there is now some weird kind of incompatibility with the primary python extension

this is very interesting- I haven't seen this problem before. Let me investigate further- thanks!

If you set python.useEnvsExtension explicitly to true do you see the duplicate go away?

[eleanorjboyd]

also @septatrix - can you try changing "python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType": "shellStartup" this may fix that issue

The problem was solved after I added the following configuration items, but a new problem emerged:

{
    "python.useEnvironmentsExtension": true,
    "python.terminal.activateEnvInCurrentTerminal": true,
    "python-envs.terminal.autoActivationType": "shellStartup"
}

The correct venv path cannot be obtained for some extensions(such as basedpyright).
It will Received pythonPath from Python extension: /path/to/default/python.
It is necessary to use >python.setInterpreter to explicitly configure the venv for the Python extension.

glad those worked but sorry the integration / communication with basedpyright still isn't working. I will investigate there
