…microsoft#702) This PR updates the "Python: Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal" command to provide a better user experience by adding a submenu that allows users to choose between different PET operations. ## Changes ### Before The command would directly run the PET executable without any options, requiring users to manually add arguments in the terminal. ### After The command now presents a QuickPick menu with two options: 1. **Find All Environments** - Runs `pet find --verbose` to discover and list all Python environments 2. **Resolve Environment...** - Prompts for a Python executable path, then runs `pet resolve <path>` to get detailed environment information ## User Experience Flow 1. User runs "Python: Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal..." 2. A menu appears with clear descriptions of each operation: - "Find All Environments": Finds all environments and reports them to standard output - "Resolve Environment...": Resolves & reports details of a specific environment 3. For "Find All Environments": Terminal opens and immediately runs the find command 4. For "Resolve Environment...": User enters a path to a Python executable, then the resolve command runs 5. All interactions support cancellation and include proper error handling ## Technical Details - Updated command title to include ellipsis ("...") to indicate additional user interaction - Implemented using VS Code's native QuickPick and InputBox APIs - Added input validation for the resolve path option - Maintained existing terminal creation and error handling patterns - All existing functionality preserved with no breaking changes The implementation follows the existing codebase patterns and includes comprehensive error handling for a smooth user experience.

… (#702)
This PR updates the "Python: Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in
Terminal" command to provide a better user experience by adding a
submenu that allows users to choose between different PET operations.
## Changes
### Before
The command would directly run the PET executable without any options,
requiring users to manually add arguments in the terminal.
### After
The command now presents a QuickPick menu with two options:
1. **Find All Environments** - Runs `pet find --verbose` to discover and
list all Python environments
2. **Resolve Environment...** - Prompts for a Python executable path,
then runs `pet resolve <path>` to get detailed environment information
## User Experience Flow
1. User runs "Python: Run Python Environment Tool (PET) in Terminal..."
2. A menu appears with clear descriptions of each operation:
- "Find All Environments": Finds all environments and reports them to
standard output
- "Resolve Environment...": Resolves & reports details of a specific
environment
3. For "Find All Environments": Terminal opens and immediately runs the
find command
4. For "Resolve Environment...": User enters a path to a Python
executable, then the resolve command runs
5. All interactions support cancellation and include proper error
handling
## Technical Details
- Updated command title to include ellipsis ("...") to indicate
additional user interaction
- Implemented using VS Code's native QuickPick and InputBox APIs
- Added input validation for the resolve path option
- Maintained existing terminal creation and error handling patterns
- All existing functionality preserved with no breaking changes
The implementation follows the existing codebase patterns and includes
comprehensive error handling for a smooth user experience.
Fixes #701.
