How to get vscode to show my python venv listed in the interpreters list?

Question

I use vscode for python dev on mac. in one of my projects I don't see the venv python listed in the "Select Interpreter" to select. When I use the "find" option to go to the venv/bin/python and select it it'd revert back and doesn't seem to have any effect.

I found the fix for this: after reading this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/wiki/AB-Experiments I added "python.experiments.enabled": false to ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json and it fixed the issue.

hopefully it'll help other folks who run into this.
