Lowercase "python" in two user-facing error messages → "Python".

  • src/extension.ts: "Select python interpreter""Select Python interpreter"
  • src/common/python.ts: "Selected python path:""Selected Python path:"

Other lowercase instances (language IDs, setting keys, extension IDs, URLs, CLI args) are technical identifiers and remain unchanged.

Original prompt

<issue_title>Capitalize instances of "python" in user-facing text</issue_title>
<issue_description>Whenever there are user facing references like in settings, commands or descriptions, we should capitalize "Python".</issue_description>

Hi @aku1310, I've assigned you to microsoft/vscode-pylint#388 as you requested there 😊

I chatted about this issue with @mavedam in Slack but just for visibility to others: we're going to prioritize assignment for OSD participants who are not mentors, just because we want to make sure we have enough issues for first time contributors to work on during the event! </comment_new>

@copilot CHeck for any other string "python" that is user facing

I did a comprehensive search across all files. The only two user-facing instances of lowercase "python" were the ones already fixed in aac6257:

  • src/extension.ts: "Select python interpreter""Select Python interpreter"
  • src/common/python.ts: "Selected python path:""Selected Python path:"

All other lowercase "python" instances are technical identifiers that must remain lowercase:

  • VS Code language IDs (language: 'python')
  • Extension IDs (ms-python.python)
  • Setting keys (python.linting.*)
  • API config sections (getConfiguration('python', ...))
  • URLs (docs.python.org)
  • CLI args in code examples ("python", "-m", "flake8")
  • Import paths and npm package names
