remote python interpreter

[victron]

Hello,

Sorry for may be strange question:
Does it possible with this extension to use remote python interpreter.
If some one has experience please share for win10.

Thank you.

Not exactly the same issue #45.

@victron speak about python remote interpreter.

For me is the local Python interpreter that doesn't work with the remote file.

This isn't something I can fix. The python language extension(s) need to add support for non-local-disk files.

Local related issues: #16, #27
Remote related issues: microsoft/vscode#51700, microsoft/vscode#54189

@gigi206 While it's indeed not entirely the same issue, it more or less has the same root cause and "solution", the solution being that the extensions need to add support for remote files.

@SchoofsKelvin this extension works with python on remote FS but I prefer your extension.

Perhaps is not totally the same mechanism with yours and this extension ?

[SchoofsKelvin]

It is indeed a different mechanism. I use the new FileSystemProvider API, while that extension adds a new tree view, as in, it doesn't use the default File Explorer but creates a fake one.

I've been following some issues, e.g. microsoft/vscode#47475 to see if there's something on my end to have better support with other extensions, but right now, it seems like it's up to other extensions to use the new API, instead of just directly reading from disk.
