Thank you in advance for testing to make sure correct directory is set for native REPL.
Please let me know if you have any questions, problems, comments.

---

Setup:

1. Install latest pre-release version of Python extension

2. Please make sure you have checked setting to send Python commands to native REPL:

3. Prepare 3 different type of workspace scenario, follow the steps below for each case:

   1. No workspace
   2. Single workspace
   3. Multi-workspace

---

Steps:

1. Open command palette via (cmd/ctrl + shift + p) and search for launching native REPL
2. Observe native REPL open as editor and type

import os
os.getcwd()

3. If you are at empty workspace scenario the output should be /
4. If you are at single workspace scenario, it should be root of that workspace
5. If you are at multi workspace scenario, you should be observing quick select and see list of your workspace directories listed as an option

when you installing, you need to place a check in install to path and select "gcc."

overall worked well, I liked the quick pick selector which had details on repo name + path. great job 😃

It works as expected for me for the single and multi folder workspace. I am not sure if I am testing the empty workspace case correctly however. I closed all folders in my workspace and I trigger the command, this results in the error command 'python.startNativeREPL' not found ? Is this expected?
