Expected behaviour

Defaults to python.pythonPath

Actual behaviour

Not sure, it either uses the system configuration of python.pythonPath or defaults to the whatever the python in $PATH is.

Steps to reproduce:

settings.json

{
  "python.pythonPath": ".direnv/python/bin/python"
}

➜ l .direnv

➜ readlink -f .direnv/python/bin/python
