Incorrectly loads uv interpreters

[justinerickson]

Given the issues with this extensions, I'd highly recommend disabling / not installing this by default.

Repo:

1. Install uv as your Python package manager
2. Open a monorepo with uv syncd subdirectory
3. See available VS Code environments from "Select a Python Environment"

Expected: Able to locate Python environment automatically
Actual: Unable to locate uv Python environment

3. As workaround to above, I tried to enter my interpreter path directly in "Select a Python Environment"

Expected: Able to paste interpreter path into "Select a Python Environment" just like it works with this extension disabled/uninstalled
Actual: Pasting paths doesn't work. Have to manually navigate through GUI to the correct path

4. Select appropriate uv python binary location

Expected: VS Code loads appropriate uv environment (eg ./backend/.venv/bin/python)
Actual: VS Code now follows symlink and loads incorrect uv share environment path (eg /Users/justin/.local/share/uv/python/cpython-3.12.8-macos-aarch64-none/bin/python) and thus unable to locate necessary packages to run anything

Workaround:
Disable (or uninstall) Python Environments avoids all issues above:

• Seems to find the uv interpreter automatically from appropriate subdirectory
• Able if desired to copy/paste uv environment location directly into "Enter interpreter path..." (no need for manually navigate paths in GUI)
• Environment works and able to run

Seems to load uv venv fine in a simpler project setup with uv environment in the root directory using a different version of Python in the environment. Possibly one or more of the following is causing this:

• Extension is unable to handle monorepos where Python uv environments are in sudirectories
• Extension is unable to handle manually supplied uv environments in general (per repro step 4)
• Extension is unable to deal with Python uv environments where the underlying Python version is shared by uv (eg it's incorrectly trying to resolve symlinks when it shouldn't)

Thank you for the detailed report- will investigate!
