Latest update doesn't allow for using a different python_interpreter without a virtualenv

So, the python_interpreter that I have specified in my user settings is

"python_interpreter": "C:\\Program Files\\Autodesk\\Maya2017\\bin\\mayapy.exe",

Previously, that was working fine, but with the latest update from Package Control this now gives me the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 3\sublime_plugin.py", line 591, in on_query_completions
    res = callback.on_query_completions(v, prefix, locations)

jedi.api.environment.InvalidPythonEnvironment: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2017\bin\Scripts\python.exe seems to be missing.

I understand this is due to the added support for virtual environments, but it seems like now there is no way to use a Python interpreter which is not the one in PATH without specifying a virtualenv as well.

Not sure what the best way to approach this would be, though, as I do see the benefits of having the virtualenv automatically inferred from the interpreter.

We’re working on it. @blueyed had worked on https://github.com/davidhalter/jedi/pull/1108. It’s not finished AFAIK but it’s going to improve. This looks pretty similar to some issues we’re having with anaconda.

@srusskih yes, #251 does fix the problem! Thanks a lot for looking into it that quickly!
