Basically I would just like to see the python version on the status bar.
Have a look at the current v1_64 Changelog https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_64 and search for Status bar.

{} next to the Python language chooserThe new python environment selection button had been moved to the bottom-right of the status bar, at first, I tried to disable and enable the Python extension several times and I cannot find the button at the original bottom-left of the status bar. Then I kept using "Cmd+Shift+P" to search and manually select python interpreter before I noticed the new position of that button.
