I haven't tried this myself. However this is a great question for stack overflow. Hopefully someone can help you there.
My suggestion is to first check on stackoverflow, if that doesn't work out, please do come back and ping us.

Don Jayamanne (@DonJayamanne) : actually I looked on stackoverflow and found this.
I am using a remote windows machine which I do not have control. I asked for vscode and python and they provided me with WinPython and I would really appreciate to work as I used to with the marvelous vscode python mode.

Have you tried that approach?
benjello commentedon Feb 15, 2018
Don Jayamanne (@DonJayamanne) : I did set
python.pythonPathto point to the installed python without success.My read of the SO answer is that vscode doesn't work with winPython.
But I am not a native english speaker so I may misunderstood the answer.

Have you tried Anaconda? https://www.anaconda.com/

I do not have control on the python distribution since I work on a remote env that i cannot change

Specifying absolute path to WinPython works for me
MikhailArkhipov commentedon Feb 21, 2018
Since WinPython is not registered anywhere we can't detect it and you have to set path to it manually. Now, if you DO register it via WinPython Control Panel applet, VSC will see it

Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) - perhaps we should add this to docs? Might be useful in the future. Thanks

I'm not sure if WinPython is used widely enough to necessarily warrant an explicit mention, but maybe.

Or we can rely on my answer on SO
