Incorrect Python version displayed in status bar after upgrading to latest version

[DonJayamanne]

• Install Python 3.6
• Select /usr/local/bin/python3 in VSC
• Status bar displays 3.6
• Install Python 3.7
• /usr/local/bin/python3 now points to 3.7
• Go into VSC, it still displays 3.6

I'm having the same issue, and it persists after a full uninstall and reinstall of Python on the system. Had Python 3.7.0 32-bit before, removed that, installed Python 3.7.1 64-bit; VSC still displays the former.

I searched the registry for Python 3.7.0 keys but found none. Where are you grabbing the version to be displayed from?
