Add better support for environment variables

For example, if I place a .env file in the workspace, it will be detected when debugging but not when using the "Run Python File" button at the top right.

It also would be nice to be able to handle all configurations related to python execution in one file (e.g. launch.json) to avoid confusion.

You can manually specify environment definition files in your debug config.

Would you mind specifying what configuration related to Python execution isn't handled in launch.json?

I already do, but would also like to have a .env file to use without debugging mode. That is a .env file used when clicking the "Run Python File" in the top right corner.

I mean for example configuring a envFile also for running the python in a non debugging mode (e.g. Run Python File button). Also, the top right button also allows to debug python, but this won't take the launch.json configuration. This is confusing to me.

You can configure a launch.json config for the Run button using the debug-in-terminal purpose. The name is a bit misleading, but if you don't choose "Run Python File" instead of "Debug Python File" it will still use the configuration.

Or are you after explicitly separate configurations for those two scenarios?
