How to use a remote python interpreter in remote development - ssh in VSCode

Microsoft recently released remote development support for SSH.

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh

However, in python, if you click "select python interpreter". The interpreter available to be chosen is only for a set of python interpreters in anaconda.

The interpreter available to be chosen are in:

~/anaconda3/*
/usr/bin/python

I have a custom python interpreter in a custom location. My interpreter is in ~/projects/myproject/bin/python

How do we configure a remote python interpreter by giving it a path?

Note: I have configured setting.json 

"python.pythonPath": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/python",

But it does not seem to respect it
