Run python file in Powershell terminal for conda environments does not work the first time

[DonJayamanne]

Here's the flow of events when user attempts to run a file in the terminal via the command palette:

1. Terminal gets created
2. Terminal is activated as follows:
   • First going into command prompt
   • Then run necessary scripts to activate env
   • Go back into powershell
3. Next, send command to run the python script file

Unfortunately step 3 happens too quickly. The text seems to be sent even before the terminal has completed activation.

As it is we have a delay in waiting for the terminal to get activated (around 500ms).
Unfortunately that isn't enough.

Note: Sending text to the terminal subsequently works (as the terminal has now been activated).

I thought we knew about this timing problem from the beginning of adding conda support?

Yes, we added a delay of 500ms, that's not sufficient anymore.
I'm planning on increasing this to 1s when using Powershell (i.e. I need a solution for something I can replicate consistently on my PC).
