Support pyenv-win on Windows

Currently, the Python extension seems to rely on the py launcher installed by the official windows installers.

I’m using pyenv-win to manage different python versions on my Windows machine and I wasn’t able to make VS Code detect it, even though running python on my terminal worked perfectly. I’ve even tried setting explicitly the python.defaultInterpreterPath setting but that didn’t work either.

So, apart from the feature request. Is there a way to use the Python extension without having the py launcher available on C:\Windows

@vgibilmanno We have a experimental discovery component that supports this. Add this to your user settings to try it out:

    "python.experiments.optInto": [
        "pythonDiscoveryModule"
    ], 

And reload VS Code.

Closing this since the feature itself is now available under the pythondiscoverymodule experiment.
