What happened?

Hello,

My system environment is macOS 14.5, using the Jupyter plugin version v2024.6.0, and Miniforge Conda version 24.5.0. I have discovered an issue where the Python version number is not displayed correctly when using the “Python: Select Interpreter” command (see the attached screenshot, where both “macbio” and “macbio_x86” should be Python 3.12.4, but they are shown as Python 3.1.X).

Interestingly, when I create an .ipynb file using the “Create: New Jupyter Notebook” feature and select the kernel with the incorrectly displayed Python version,

a popup (as shown in the screenshot) appears.

However, if I ignore this popup, the kernel still works correctly. Therefore, it seems that the issue might only be related to the retrieval of the Python version information, as the Python functionality still works correctly.

Yes that is correct.

An option to ignore this warning would be fantastic :)

Switching to pre-release version of Python extension should fix the issue. See: microsoft/vscode-python#23649
