Environment data

VS Code version: 1.18.1
Python Extension version: 0.8.0
Python Version: Python 3.6.3 :: Anaconda, Inc.
OS and version: Windows 10 v1709, conda installed in WSL Ubuntu

Actual behavior

• Intelisense/Autocomplete do not work
• Launching debug (F5) on a python file:
  • Error Failed to launch the Python Process, please validate the path /home/srijan/anaconda3/bin/python.
  • Debug Console: Error: spawn /home/srijan/anaconda3/bin/python ENOENT
• Ctrl-Shift-P > Python: Select Interpreter says current: /home/srijan/anaconda3/bin/python...There are no entries to pick from.

Expected behavior

Anaconda Python should work with VS Code from what I understand.

• Possibly related to No option to select Anaconda root #22

Steps to reproduce:

• Launch VSCode
• Set "python.pythonPath": "/home/<user>/anaconda3/bin/python"
• Try Autocomplete or Debugging a file
