Make `pyproject.toml` a selectable option when creating environments

[ackalker]

Type: Bug

Behaviour

Expected vs. Actual

Expected: Leaving all dependency sources (requirements.txt, pyproject.toml) unchecked should not build and install any dependencies from these files.
Actual: Dependencies in pyproject.toml are built and installed during the creation of the virtual environment.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone the repository https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python (with submodules!) and open it in Visual Studio Code.
2. Open the Command Palette and run Python: Create environment
3. Choose to create a .venv type environment.
4. In the dialogs that follow, make sure that none of the requirements.txt or pyproject.toml files are selected for installing dependencies, e.g. hit Enter while keyboard focus is in the topmost edit box, without any of the checkboxes checked.

Note that I had to run these steps twice to even get a working Python virtual environment, because installing the dependencies from pyproject.toml forced me to install some tools which I didn't have installed at the time (because I don't need them for what I want to do (edit and lint Python code)) before I could retry creating the virtual environment.

Diagnostic data

• Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): 3.10.12
• Type of virtual environment used (e.g. conda, venv, virtualenv, etc.): Venv
• Value of the python.languageServer setting: Default

Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)

Currently, the Create Environment command installs pyproject.toml if it has a build.system table in it. The intent with this command is that it tries to follow the recommendations of the project. The choice you get with TOML currently is only if you have optional.dependencies table.

We discussed this with this team and we plan on making TOML a selectable option. Note that, when TOML is selected we do an editable install with the project. so, it will require and install any dependencies that are required by the project. If you want to create an environment and want to set it up in a particular way you will have to manually create it.

I think this is works now when I have tried something similar- let me know if you are still seeing this and I can re-open. Thanks
