Create virtual environment using astral-sh/uv

[mscheltienne]

When selecting from the command palette Python: Select Interpreter, we can create a virtual environment using Venv or Conda. I propose to add to this list the faster https://github.com/astral-sh/uv tool, which creates an environment with:

uv venv --python path/to/interpreter

And install dependencies of the project in the current directory with the flag all with:

uv pip install -e .[all]

Or for a simple pip install command:

uv pip install numpy

I think this can be implemented with the new Python Environments
Lets see if the guys at UV @astral-sh can help with it, here is an example on how to do it.

I see this
https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python-environments/blob/main/src/managers/builtin/uvProjectCreator.ts
When will it be merged?

Now I get it, if you install this

And switch the Python extension to pre-release also then UV will do the heavy lifting with venvs.

It so fast!
