   I have the following project structure

     "python-envs.pythonProjects": [
       {
         "path": "ada",
         "envManager": "ms-python.python:system",
         "packageManager": "ms-python.python:pip"
       }
     ],
   

   and in the "python projects" view, I see the project "ada" correlated with /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.10

   but when I click to open the terminal the type which python it returns /Users/eleanorboyd/.pyenv/shims/python. I am unsure if this is something on my machine or the extension's problem
