Execute Python code in WSL

[sfiruch]

Describe the feature you are requesting
VS should be able to run Python code in WSL, similar to the functionality available for C++ developers (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/walkthrough-build-debug-wsl2?view=msvc-170). I'd like to run and debug my code running in WSL.

Reasons for requesting this feature
I work on a Python project which uses a lot of native code that is linux-x64 only. I'd like to use VS as IDE to work on this project.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Porting all library dependencies of my python project to windows infeasible
• Using remote debugging is cumbersome and not suitable as daily development workflow.
