Feb 2022 VS Code changes: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/python/python-in-visual-studio-code-february-2022-release/

Move pinned interpreter status bar item towards the right behind pythonInterpreterInfoPinned experiment. (#18282)

  • Use language status API to move interpreter info inside the "Python" item in the right side.
  • It is unpinned by default.

UPDATE 17/03/2022: Looks like on latest VS Code update they have removed {}, and the interpreter is now permanently pinned to the right of "python" enter image description here
