Discussed internally, to simplify the Python Environments pane, we should remove the option to create an activated terminal from the Environment Managers section.

What was the reasoning behind this? I like the button and find it useful but maybe that is only for a demoing purpose?

I have had users working on packages and need to run things in different terminals ask for this. It might be a pro feature, and we could hide it behind a setting?

We discussed this during the UX review as a way to simplify the amount of icons and functionality that is duplicated across the "Python Projects" fold and the "Environment Managers" fold.

Final decision: We want to remove the "create python terminal" button from a "python project" menu item. Secondly, want to remove the "Copy Environment Path" button from the "python project" menu item for the nested environment under a given project
