Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: all
Relevant/affected Python-related VS Code extensions and their versions: all

Expected behaviour

Interpreter shows all pyenv base versions and virtual environments.

Actual behaviour

When I open the interpreter to select a Python version it shows all the virtual environment I have created in pyenv from the different base version, but not the base versions themselves. That is, I can select a virtual environment XXX based on 3.7.6 but not 3.7.6 itself.

I don’t think the python binary (or the link to it) shows up in the root of the pyenv version. I think it’s supposed to be inside bin/. It’s the same with the virtual environments that do show up for me in VSCode.
