Conversion to Scripts/python.exe not working #25995
Description
Type: Bug
The extension is supposed to automatically convert unix Python paths, like: .venv/bin/python to .venv/Scripts/pythone.exe. However it doesn't in all places.
Steps to reproduce:
A few things don't work just opening my project, which has:
"python.defaultInterpreterPath": "${workspaceFolder}/.venv/bin/python.exe"
-
Run Python File in Terminal, or Debug don't work until I select the environment, thus, changing the interepreter.
-
Ruff formatting - shows squibles under a lot of stuff until I change the interpreter.
Diagnostic data
Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

We don’t auto convert this path. The setting is platform or machine specific, it is saved in user settings not at workspace level.
Eleanor Boyd (@eleanorjboyd) can you confirm.
