Black and flake8 installation not found

We have written the needed data into your clipboard because it was too large Issue Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Black and flake8 packages should be found and enabled in my project. This worked in the previous version of the Python extension. Once I upgraded the Python extension, black and flake 8 stopped working and the vs code keeps prompting me that they are not installed. Even if I installl them again by clicking Yes on the prompt window (the installation is skipped as they are already there), the same prompt appears again.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a dummy python project.
2. Install and configure black and flake8.
3. VS Code will still prompt that they are not installed.
