python target

[AlexanderLanin]

Situation

Currently we have score_virtualenv macro which is typically executed by ide_support, which will create a virtual environment for python.
Python becomes available only after running said target.

Problem

When we configure the python path in any kind of config (e.g. vs code), it points to a non existing location until people actually run ide_support.
Example: swyddfa/esbonio#1017

Idea

Can we make a new bazel target, let's call it python which is basically a simple wrapper for .venv/bin/python with a dependency to ide_support?

Unfortunately it's not trivial as ide_support is a run target and not a build target.

Probably resolves eclipse-score/docs-as-code#312

I don't think there is a solution here outright.
The people either have to use the devcontainer which executes that command in the beginning, or execute the command to get the virtualenv.
