Running debugger under `conda` fails to load `_sqlite3`

Issue Type: Bug

Hello,

After editing some documents in a repository, staging the changes, adding a commit message, and then trying to commit, I get an error with the following Command output.

> git -c user.useConfigOnly=true commit --quiet --allow-empty-message --file -

I did try importing those same python modules in a python session in a terminal (in the same anaconda environment) and I did not get any issue.

As far as I can tell, this is only happening one of the two workspaces I normally use.

@lszomoru I’ve gone ahead and transferred the issue to the vscode-python repo.

@Astlaan please let us know if you are still having this issue as we have completely reworked our conda support since you last reported anything.

[karrtikr]

@Astlaan, sadly there is an issue with conda run when running it from a terminal that already has an activated environment (https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11305, https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11174) due to which conda ends up using the base environment python instead, and hence results in errors such as "No module named 'jkjdfg'". So unfortunately there isn’t much to do to be done here atm.

We’re looking to activate conda environments in a different way with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/11039, which should also help solve this issue, closing in favor of that.

As a workaround, you can use extension version which predates 2021.12.0 (9 December 2021), where we do not use conda run, that should not result in the module not found error.
