Experiment - DeprecatePythonPath

[yspreen]

How am I supposed to set the pythonPath now, on a repository basis? Do you expect us to manually specify the python path on every machine now? If so, why would this backward step be made?

Please have a look at the wiki for more details on why such a step was made. We'll get back to you soon.

I did read through that article before posting here @karrtikr. However, I could not find a replacement for the repo-level configuration of this setting.

@yspreen You're right. The interpreter path setting now cannot be commited to a repository, as it's now stored in a VSCode storage.

I pointed you to the wiki as you asked for the reason we had to remove interpreter path from settings. One of them was this: #7805. Which basically meant we cannot have the setting value stored inside the workspace folder for security reasons.

You're welcome to suggest us your ideas regarding any other solution you may think of.

You can now use python.defaultInterpreterPath to share the settings at repo level. The wiki has been updated accordingly.
