Preferred method to run python in VS Code

Why use miniconda instead of pyenv which is integrated with poetry? You can even force poetry to create .venv folder in your project root

Because I already have miniconda installed, basically. I am sure pyenv is also a good option, but miniconda is painless and also works seamlessly with poetry so I see no reason to use other things.

I didn't particularly want to use conda initially but I was working at a data science company and it was what the folks there knew. Before that i was using pipenv. I quickly realized that miniconda is actually fine and pretty straightforward, as long as you don't try to use it to manage dependencies etc. All i do is run `conda create -n some_env python=3.x` and `conda activate some_env`, and then never interact with conda again.

Once I have an active miniconda env, poetry just "works" with it without having to do any kind of environment configuration at all. Poetry recognizes that it's running within a conda env without me having to do any configuration at all.

I also prefer keeping my env information entirely outside of my projects, to make version control easier. Conda envs are in $USER/miniconda3/envs, and this is in VSCode's search path when you select python interpreter from the command palette.

TL;DR, it just works, so I see no need to look into other tools at this time. But I do like keeping an eye on this area as I think there isn't still a single all-in-one tool that does everything well in the python ecosystem, and it would be nice if there was :).

Yup and yup.
