I can see error in logs like below:

Hey,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
Currently we spawn static tasks (== tasks from tasks.json) without going through shell, which means that $(pwd) is interpreted literally.
To work around that, you can spawn shell first:
  {
    "label": "Run te.py",
    "command": "bash",
    "args": ["-c", "python3 $(pwd)/te.py"]
  }
For what it's worth, it seems like we'll have to spawn static tasks through shell, so your original example should work in the near future.
