Remove Interactive Window's dependency on Python extension

Open amunger opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

If you try to create an IW without the Python extension installed and haven't specified a remote connection, we will display a prompt saying that the Python extension is required.

That isn't really true since they could alternatively specify a remote jupyter connection, but they could also just specify a kernel to use, rather than requiring that they have an active interpreter.

We could probably re-use the same flow as the notebook and open the quickpick to choose a kernel and display the same error message if there isn't one to connect to.

We likely need to do this for the web case.
