No option to select Anaconda root

[MFairley]

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.18.0
Python Extension version: 0.8.0
Python Version: Python 3.6.3 :: Anaconda, Inc.
OS and version: Mac OS 10.13.1

Actual behavior

Interpreter selection does not include the Anaconda root Python (located at ~/anaconda3/bin/python) when VSCode is launched from the Applications folder. It only includes the default Apple Python and the Anaconda conda environments (located at ~/anaconda3/envs//bin/python). Anaconda is not in my default PATH. If I launch VSCode from the command line with Anaconda in my PATH then it does appear in the list of interpreters.

Expected behavior

Root Anaconda Python should always be available to select from the interpreter selection menu

Steps to reproduce:

• Do not have Anaconda Python in your default PATH
• Launch VSCode normally from the Applications folder
• Open Python interpreter selection menu by clicking on Python version at bottom left of window. Anaconda root will not appear in the list.
