This PR adds a new command that allows users to run the Python Environment Tool (PET) binary in a terminal to search for Python installations interactively. ## Changes Made ### Command Registration - Added `python-envs.runPetInTerminal` command to `package.json` - Added localized title "Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal" to `package.nls.json` - Command is categorized under "Python" and only shown when the environments extension is enabled ### Implementation - Exported `getNativePythonToolsPath()` function from `nativePythonFinder.ts` - Added command handler in `extension.ts` that: - Gets the PET executable path using `getNativePythonToolsPath()` - Creates a new terminal named "Python Environment Tool (PET)" - Executes the PET binary in the terminal with proper path quoting - Shows the terminal to the user immediately - Includes comprehensive error handling with user-friendly messages ### Usage Users can now: 1. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl+Shift+P` / `Cmd+Shift+P`) 2. Search for "Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal" 3. Execute the command to open a terminal running PET 4. Interactively explore and search for Python installations The implementation follows existing codebase patterns for terminal commands and maintains consistency with other extension features. Fixes #607. <!-- START COPILOT CODING AGENT TIPS --> --- 💬 Share your feedback on Copilot coding agent for the chance to win a $200 gift card!
