The extension can not be activated because of the wrong path of python2.7

Issue Type: Bug

Expected vs. Actual

v2022.0.1814523869 could not be activated normally on my Macbook M1 Max, while v2021.12.1559732655 works fine. It can be seen from logs that v2022.0.1814523869 uses /usr/lib/python2.7 rather than /usr/bin/python2.7.

The error information obtained from logs:

}

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the version of v2022.0.1814523869 on macOS 12.2.1.

Same error here. Would that prevent the status bar extension from being available? I no longer can change the interpreter from the IDE. Also, syntax coloring may be affected. Unsure if there are other side effects. I downgraded to v2021.11.1422169775 and the interpreter selector is back in the status bar.

Looks like most of users in this thread were thinking extension did not activate because of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/18283. Closing this thread.
