How to force vscode to use tools binaries from given path?

[mnowotnik]

Extension vscode-python supports many tools for linting/formatting etc. I want to specify a single parameter so that vscode has access to all of them.

For example:
I have installed the black formatter tool in my home folder in a path: $HOME/.local/bin/black ;
using command: pip install --user black. I've also installed pylint in the same path.
How can I configure vscode to use both of those tools without specifying black and pylint path explicitly in the settings.json?
I tried setting PYTHONPATH and PATH in the .env file, but to no avail.
