Constant error messages for projects that do not use jupytext

[td-anne]

In some of my projects I do not use notebooks, and so jupytext is not installed in those virtual environments. (Other projects do use jupytext.) If this extension is installed, when I look at those projects that do not use jupytext, I get a constant stream of popups informing me that the extension cannot find a jupytext executable to run. This is intrusive and unhelpful.

One option would be for the extension to include a bundled version of jupytext, presumably to be overridden by the configured python environment if there is one. An alternative would be to use the same python interpreter that the notebook or python file uses (notebooks, at least, must have a kernel selected to function). If jupytext is not available in that interpreter, just do nothing.

Mmmm... This was not intended. I am travelling now and can't have a deep look into it.

Potential quick workarounds:

1. Specify under (jupytextSync.pythonExecutable setting) a Python executable that has the jupytext installed. You can do this at the User level such that any project you open in VSCode will use the same Python executable to invoke jupytext.
2. Disable the automatic documents sync (jupytextSync.syncDocuments setting) on the Workspace for Folder level such that the extension does not try to sync. NB I am not sure if this would work, I don't recall the code from the top of my head.

I ran into this as well. In the end I only have this extension enabled in workspaces where I actually use it.
This works fine for me.
