In a new environment, and with the ms-python.python-2020.6.88468 extension, when selecting the pyhton interpreter I get this error:

Command 'Python: Select Interpreter' resulted in an error (command 'python.setInterpreter' not found)

Hello, first you have to change the option to automatically update the extensions, otherwise it will go to the latest version again.

Then uninstall the extension and proceed to install it manually from the file.

code-server --install-extension file.vsix 

You can download the version from here https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/releases/tag/2020.5.86806

@syci I was having the same problem. Solved it by rolling the python extension back to 2020.5.86806
